Blimey there would be much heroine worshipping if you did! I read all about it and was most enthused before I read which versions it worked on!

I have enjoyed (if that's the right word) making my own in the learning sense, but it would be so nice to have a tool to take the pain out of it when you just want to get on with making things move. I tried Creature Tools but it tells me I am missing a dll, I am doomed on auto rigging!

Setting up for the opening shot. Question; how do I smooth out these shadows? I have upped the dmap to 2500 it helps but still many pixels. Any other way or tricks without bumping up the dmap to the max??

It' sorted, I decided to get up of my bum and get my digital lighting and rendering book (the bible - one of). My filter size was too small.
