Hi:
I have not changed the out-put path, default works just fine, the first
rendering is in the scenes folder- which is where the others are also.
the renderer just won't recognise that the image.pov is there.
As for the rendering settings; I've rendered with all 3 types of settings:
with +FT, without, and without AA.

Thanks  woodcarver
