yep... when im more awake (i.e. after i sleep), will recreate what i've done (and take notes) and send it in... for some reason when i refresh the indirect lighting info now, the whole scene darkens terribly - and i didnt touch any settings in between.  the volumetric light stops working altogether.

I found another issue using one of the sample scenes... Chip's loft i think it was - but it was an odder issue... something i touched made everything blur as if the camera guy had a fit of the palsy.  i couldnt figure out what i did, so went "well - crap, there went another one".

i gave up on radiosity for the evening as my brain is doing its best to shut down for the night LOL....

am playing with the water editor now, as well as the new clouds =D  so far... ITS GOOD!  no dots =D  no streaks & blurs...

yay!

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
