Hi Mark,
to restore a window offscreen, first activate the window ('P' for properties, for example) Hit 'Alt' then 'down arrow' then 'm' then 'down arrow' then move your mouse and the outline of the window should come with it..

Have you tried the capture channels tutorials, where you can render a special lite with low settings, then blur the shadows.. speeds things up a bit.

Thanks for posting your lscape file!

This is the original posteffect created by Timo. It's there when you want to use the original shaders, also created by Timo. Should have written that in the readme. Makes me think, that it might be wiser to save my contributions
on my own webspace and create a link in the wiki. As I can't change the
files as they are on the Realsoft info site.

Hi Arjo,
Thanks for the efforts and the sharing!
I like the AO effect, except for the render times. Why not go for full GI if it's only a little bit longer to render?

The effect of a single large special light that surrounds the scene (a hollow cylinder without bottom cap works well) can mimic the AO effect pretty well but again, render times can pose a problem if you set lightsource quality high enough to get rid of the noise. But that way you avoid glass and fog problems.

Aaah! I tried your project on a single monitor setup and couldn't get to the Properties window; the pre-SP3 solution didn't work any more (delete some files in Documents and Settings\....). Can someone refresh my memory on how to solve this without hassling with monitors?

tnx
