Thanks Sam and don't worry, I know what you meant there.

As for the Rolf reference, that was totally unintentional, never even thought about it. Obviously apologies if I've inadvertently offended anyone.

Hopefully this post will be more positive ...yes it looks beyond basic, but it's the start of the fence. Yes could've run with transmaps, and yes while they can look good, I find they can take longer to render. So I'm trying to building the fence as a mesh, while keeping the poly count low, but without resorting to decimation. Which is proving tricky.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
