I would just like to express my sincere disapointment in the publication of my article. The entire piece was chopped to bits. The writing no longer flows (at all)... The first paragraph was utterly destroyed. A section of my original introduction written as; "The native lighting in Bryce is inefficient at best; soft shadows use complex ray based algorithms, ambient illumination in its true form- does not even exist, and volumetric lights become near impossible to render on any machine. Fortunately, there are loopholes which allow one to pass by these shortcomings with ease." was changed to "The native lighting in bryce is inefficient at best; soft shadows use complex ray based algoithms. Ambient illumination, in its true form, does not exist, and volumetric lights become near impossible to render on any machine." In place of a suitable piece a chopped up fragment was added... The introduction sentence about loopholes was added to the next paragraph and butchered completely, as was the rest of the article. I'd add more, but I'm afraid of legal consequences. I would like to state that I am completely detatching myself from this article and magazine; I hold no responsibility for what they claim is my work. Furthermore, I am very disapointed in the editing and production of said piece. This is not something I would have expected from renderosity.
