Oh certainly not, trust me. :03:
Regarding atmospheric lighting, when you want to reduce rendering times what matters is the number of light rays, and that's all. :up:

Err, maybe not :hmm2:, you should use the light tracer too to reduce it even more...
In a video that is. :up:
For a screenshot, reducing the number of light rays of the skylight will do.

Sketched with my tablet in photoshop for about a half hour, just at random without any plan or reference, something kinda cool came out.

Just decided to be really lazy with it and use custom brushes :)

My newest desktop: http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/h.../Desktop-1.jpg

I was watching the Scope visualization on windows media player and wondered what it would look like on camera, and on my crappy phone camera it looked really cool. It's also where my new signature comes from ;)

Are you sure that the K+D under the wing shouldn't be the other way around?:hmmm:

LOL you're right man, should have fixed it in a few seconds but I just didn't think this detail would attract so much attention, next time I'll keep in mind people mostly step in to point out defaults. :O:
