One thing about this new pseudo-volumetric lighting ... can some please post a render (someone like Nerd, Nosfiratu, ahem-hem) of volumetric lighting "casting self-shadows" ? That is the effect of light coming through a window into a room and you see the rays with underlying shadows. Probably not wording this well as I'm incredibly tired, but I'm sure someone out there understands what I'm talking about. Neftis's alien animation is interesting, but the shadows being cast "into the light" look more like they are being cast onto a wall behind the alien rather than through the light. Perhaps this is just a limitation of this being a pseudo-solution? Or would some other object well behind the figure help complete the illusion? _Tim
