Congratz Sacada! Nice one my friend :)

Click on File/Options and set both Instant draw, and Background draw to Faster (sliders) Also in here are many options to speed up your working environment, although I can't possibly go into them all, the little '?' in the lower right hand corner of the window can :) Each one of these options is useful and I use them constantly while making scenes. But great advice is to learn to use the layers as Guitta has already pointed out. This alone will make you work 10 times faster! http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=420991 This image has over 10,000,000 poly's and although it was still a pain, layers are what made it possible. Without them it would'nt have been finished! Hope this helps, Kutter

I'm so glad we got there in the end Erka, it was I believe well worth the wait... Kutter

Number 5 for me :) Although I am with Thomas, the plant written Vue is awesome!

Nice one Erka! You certainly do deserve it... Kutter

Great stuff Forester! thanx for helping out my friend :) Kutter

Excellent stuff :) Glad its helping out and getting around out there... Kutter

Tricky question Diane, because they will all pretty much do the job. If your looking at several windows that need this soft glow you'll probably be better off useing point lights behind each (Tip: use a gel on them to break up the light a bit and create soft shadows) But of course you can only do this if the inside of your building actually has seperating floors and walls (else they will all mingle together) If thats the case use spotlights angled the same way out of each window. This way you can just aim the cone where you want it to be (into the garden or whatever) The quad lights act strangly sometimes (although I havn't had a lot of call to use them so I'll shut up now before i make a fool of myself :) and the directional light is really more like for use as a sunlight. So before i ramble forever... Spots are the way to go if you want a definate area that the light will be hitting outside the window. Point lights if you just need the windows to glow... It also helps if you actually put in a narrow box with a glass texture applied for a more realistic look :) Hope this isn't rubbish, and hope it helps... All the best, Kutter

That tutorial is brilliant, thanx Charles :) After i got my head around the math it started to make sense.. And oh boy did it start to make sense... This is all very, very usefull thank you muchly, it will help no end I can already think of several things I want to do :) Kutter

Thx for your feedback Gaz, I'm at work at the moment so I cant check the scenes that I have set up this way. But when i get back later I'll be sure to check them. If mine are different (or even the same and I just forgot) I will amend the tutorial appropriately :) Thx again Kutter

Dependant on when I finish work today will dictate if the model gets a link tonight, or has to wait 'till tommorow. But rest assured by Thursday there will be a link here :) Kutter

Well I have to go with those that like the site...But dislike the white background. (like Flycatcher I have already changed back to black as my background colour.) My reasons for this are simple... Pics look better on a black background. I know this is personal taste, but I actually see a lot more detail and the pictures feel warmer. Everything else seems pretty cool though :) Kutter

Wow, thx all :) and thx Gebe for posting its existence! I just felt that it would be really beneficial because of the amount of time it took me to figure it all out :) Thx also to sitting blue.. I'll go take a look my friend :) Kutter

No problem at all Erka, send it to me via email and I'll stick a link to it here :) And thx muchly, thats one helluva nice model :) steve@digitalelement.co.uk Kutter

Thank you Sac, this is great and the reason I keep coming back... Most helpfull my friend! Kutter
