    Volumetric Lighting on Maya/Mental Ray 2008

    The wikpedia explanation posted by floccy explains it well. If you use objects (like trees) to shine the light through (to make God rays and shadows) and also volumetric lighting with a good shadow map, you should be able to tweak some nice lighting. I was suggesting to SoMxNemesis that instead...

    The hate experience

    Racism isn't a disease, it is a response that we as people learn from our parents and our peers. It is always the most ignorant of individuals that perpetuate this problem and it is up to us to help teach our children that racism of every kind is wrong. I grew in the UK and I live in the US and...

    Volumetric Lighting on Maya/Mental Ray 2008

    ^^ you should still try and use volumetric lighting as you can add volume on top of having objects to shine through. The tress do not have to look real, just enough to shine light through. :)

    Volumetric Lighting on Maya/Mental Ray 2008

    You don't actually need to render the forest, just the lighting which can be composited back into shot. Change the settings so that the forest does not render, but so that the light and shadows still do. ;)

    Android Mobile Phone Thread

    Re: Android G1 Thread I bought my G1 with a contract for T-Mobile and only paid 179.00 but you can now get them for under 100.00 with a contract... otherwise I don't know what full price is :P sorry. I think it's the same for the mytouch... pretty inexpensive with contract.

    Re: Android G1 Thread Try SUFBS as a file manager manager, it is easily the best as it will also let you fully interact with system files and let you mount system partitions as writable. It's not free, but worth the small amount u pay for it. I am running same ROM with Meltus sound hack and...

    some doubts regarding eyesight

    @ Renegade, you are borderline on the need for toric contacts as you astigmatism is not very high, you may be able to manage fine with a spherical equivalent... a good optometrist should be able to try some trials on you to see. (no pun intended :P)
