No , I meant do you have any links to tutorials on the net or in the RS manual (etc etc) . > "Evaluating" is more or less the RS word for "surface-baking", > but maybe a little bit more... > But surface-baking seems to me the closest thing. > Matthias Yes , I can understand the concept very easily , but to actually think of ways to use this concept is the trick . You have done so in a very creative manner , so congrads ! The idea of using it to create custom HDRi's came to my mind , but that is nothing more than following the obvious path created by your lead . In short , what I was asking is , do you (or anyone) have any links to other people using this type of thing with other S/W , anywhere on the net ? thanks again garry > > > (In short: no cam in scene, only illumination evaluated) > > > Matthias > > > > Ah , OK .
