>>but would rather use VP if possible. (that way I don't have to worry about cropping off edges, I've done this often and have, so far, found the simple way is to just use the safe frame and create a rectangle object that you map the IFL to with the video sequence in in the PAR. I use an Omni light rather than turn on self illumination. I size the rectangle to the outside box of the safe frame. I have always obtained satisfactory results with the shadows and even auto reflection maps with this technique.
