Since I've only had a chance to get back here a couple times in the past few months (personal issues for me as well,) I hadn't known you had left. But now that I do, I must say (belatedly,) you will be missed! Your help with the newbies (me at one time,) and the more advanced users who need help just as often. (Me again.. ;)  )

Your attention to the details, (shadow quality testing, the intricite details on the Star Wars & Star Trek models, ) have been an ispiration.

Thank you for your time and help! And good luck with all your future renderings! (3D as well as 'Real life'! )
