Send me a .3DS file with the camera view clearly showing a couple of the 2D trees with the missing faces. Regading the ITVA note that "some users report some problems with artifacts and aliasing"… there are probably two reasons for this: 1) The 3DSr1 renderer wasn't very advanced, and didn't include any texture filtering; 2) In order to use the 3DSr2 renderer to get OPTIMAL antialiasing with video, you've GOT to render on fields. (as you know) Many people who aren't used to doing this are getting caught with less-than-optimal results when they render to frames instead of fields. (Note that we're going to eliminate this requirement for r3 so you can get just as good antialiasing on frames as you can on fields.) – G
