Heh.
Now, I on the other hand, see distinct banding in the rendered shadows if I use anything at 256 or less, so I crank it UP as high as my machine will take.
Sorry, AS, I will have to agree to disagree on this point.
On the other hand, for me, the Intensity settings go WAY down.... sometimes as far as .5, depending on the IBL image used.
Really? That's interesting. I'll have to try both those methods out, but after this render for my film finishes, which will probably take another day.
adh3d,
I don't think this Beta is on anything but instancing and a bit on IBL, but from what has been said over at Daz, it sounds like there could be more Betas to come with different new things. But that's just my impression, so don't quote me on that. But I agree that better animation for water would be excellent, both oceans and rivers - spray & waterfalls etc.
......
Sorry, I was dreaming there for a moment.
