Great to hear!
Also, now that I have a dual core processor with 4GB ram, compared to
maybe
an Athlon 1.2GHZ with 512MB ram, things should render much faster.
Sweet!
I used to use a plugin from Evasion called Shadow Designer which simulated
soft, radiosity type shadows at great speed.
It sounds like I wont have to do this anymore eh?
Thanks for the info! It's great to be back. While I was away, I was doing
some pro photography, in and out of studio.
That should greatly help me in the layout "studio" of LW I would think.
