Hi Paolo,
naturally I can do it in Atomkraft, but I'm thinking regular Nuke for now.

Tahl,
good idea about the Environment light, but I was thinking what Roy did in
that same masterclass with the whole spherical harmonics thing. Anybody
ever had a look at that and collected it all to a usable gizmo?

Thanks,
Ron Ganbar
