hello,

this is pretty much just a chatty type post.  hope thats ok.
i'm trying to get my first image together so i can post it
for everybody to see.  i'm doing an indoors-looking-out
a window scene, with visible light rays.  as advised, i gave
up on atmospheric media cuz it made everything foggy,
and i just wanted the rays that way.  i built meshes that
coincided with the light rays coming in square panes of
glass.

right now i'm fiddling with gilles's grass macro.  there's a
big yard outdoors and i'm having some trouble keeping
the grass looking like its growing in rows.  its definitely a
"RTFM" scenario...  i just took a patch that he had generated
as a sample and i wrote a macro (yeah!  me!  wrote a
macro!  wahoo!) to lay a bunch of patches and even do
some rotation to thicken it and it looks like its in rows like
corn.  i staggered the rows but that didn't help.  i'm working
on a random staggering now.  i would have had far less
trouble if i would have taken the time to sit down and read
his documentation at the very beginning...  i'll never learn.

thanks, miker
