Yeap, my preview has been switched off since about 5 minutes after I started playing with the pre-release lol I didn't notice the resource usage, but noticed it really slowed down the responsivenes of the GUI in selecting things while it updated.

The multiple section way to do big pics - yeah, I'm pretty familiar with that - have been doing that with my bryce scenes since late 2002 due to using a comparitively (to the rest of the world lol) lo-spec PC at the time. It's an awesome way to avoid PC limitations for sure. Have been playing with Vue's render masks recently.

Must say, he gets some nice effects from playing with the depth maps in that Lirhful Station -pretty nice resulting lighting in all. Thanks for that link, Peggy :)
