Adding 10 minutes at the start of render to create textures and work from

I'd be really keen to see an optimized RS3D. For
the graphics apps that will appear, POV is bound to find it's way and might give
an idea of the speedups realworld-performance can manage. But I'd love to be

The OpenGL textures are created automatically. All you have to do is create
your scene as usual, and let the realtime view worry about displaying them
in realtime. The 1024 rating is for OpenGL texture size and you can reduce
this if you don't need the detail to get a performance boost/use les
Yes, that's the largest size for the realtime textures when editing. There's

Maybe a solution is a hybrid that uses S and V in illumination, coupled with

Setting a lower peak and ensuring your bumpmap covers the full spectrum

I'm curious now. How big is the file+resources? Could you post it up
somewhere so I c
ds? This
pixelation of levels shouldn't really be present. The Bump object can
generate a much smoother result at fairly little negative impact to bump
fidelity, and this saves storage capacity and bandwidth when rendering using
lower colour resolution images.

FLOAT texture
texture=LoadTexture(bumpy-skin)
texture=Linear(texture)
texture*=Constant(0.5)
The above would reduce the bump size by half, * 0.5. This gives you one
control to easily scale the bumps smaller or bigger than a -1...+1 range.
