Hi Shawn,

Thanks again for your reply. I would be interested to see what you use for your scenes. I have used GR in the past based on some of the Quadspinner tutorial settings. Render times are not so important to me; I am more interested in good results.

Do you think that the shadow map issue is related to the scaling differences between Vue 9 and the older versions? I did try playing with the size of the Vue unit to see if that made an difference, and it looked like it did have some positive effect but I could not get rid of the artifacts in the shadows, although this was all done using the default textures so I will have to try again with another texture applied.

Thanks for your continuing help.
