Hi, Well I AM enjoying B5 (MAC and PC versions --mostly MAC though), but of course running ito some minor diffucluties. Global soft lighting. This seems to only be selectable in the default "Sun & Moon" settings. Every time I click on a preset it deselects itself and will not work thereafter. Is there a secret to this? I have longed for soft shadows and use them exclusivly now and am wondering why it turns itself off. What settings need to be so it stays on? Preset Trees. Anyone trully figure out some good preset trees? I can play around with the settings forever, but can't get things like palms and conifers. Porting files over to another computer. I find that when doing this, it sometimes tells me that items/objects can't be found. Is this because it is looking for something that I saved to the User obp file? If it's in the scene/file shouldn't it be ported over? Networking. Well I finally got this to work, but only on small files. Anything over 40 megs just crashes the program when trying to net-render. Thanks for any help in these matters. James
