Quote - The tutorial served to emphasise why I prefer PDFs to videos: it was easy to follow / study. I like to ponder concepts. Can't do that with a video.

Cycles does suffer from 'fireflies' when rendering 'glossy' items  - I've edited them out in this render.

Cool. Yeah I prefer a document to a video usually too, RobynsVeil.

What kind of spec of graphics card are you running to achieve that result? It uses the GPU on this, am I right?

 

I searched some more... but still no recent wood for the latest Poser that I could see :-(

However I did find mention by Bagginsbill that he had some new wood, that he showed off in a fairly recent (November 2011, I think) thread at RDNA, in a queue ready to go to the marketplace...

So I have wishlisted that in my head... ;-)

Am I right in thinking that matmatic would give me wood of some kind?

I have been lame getting round to checking out matmatic properly... I really must.
