Problem with DDX DDY normals breaking lighting when used for opacity masking
Hi! [TLDR: Tree's shadows break when masking out polygons that are perpendicular to the camera by multiplying the opacity mask with the Dot product of Camera Vector and Normals that have been calculated using DDX and DDY (as the tree has edited vertex normals). Shadows work when using Pixel or Vertex normals instead of the… -

Re: Does a GPU rendered scene gets loaded in the GPU to get rendered there?
I could also say based on my experience that GPU renderers are interactive only on simple scenes and once you scene is getting huge with gazilion of instances, hi res displacement, hairs etc they are somewhat starting to get less convenient than CPU ones.

Re: Pet Peeve: Sloppy work. Or: How Anal Am I?
I've got you beat on the "anal" department. A list of my pet peeves when working with other people's files (some of these are very 3ds max - centric so bear with me): - People who save our their max files with a single viewport maximized, usually in "User" mode.
