>>Venting can be healthy:) :^). Oh, and… >>the time such as lensflare and DOF to render comparable animations on 3DS would cost me another $1000 for the IPAS suite Actually, it would only cost you $295 for LensFX. There are still some issues that need to be resolved w/LensFX, but you have a lot more more control and flexability in setting up your flares; plus you can really design your own flares w/quite a bit of exactness (I'm still trying to find a place to use the triple cat's eye flare I designed_somewhere_;^) and get away from the 'Photoshop' look of Lightwave's flares. And, because the DOF is not involved in the actual scene rendering itself (it's a post process), it renders very quickly. John Stetzer JWS
