hi Christoph,

I agree with your comments about the fill light.


The problem with the grass is its need for memory. First aand second version
had 90000 blades. Now the scene uses 200 Mbyte less memory with "only" 48000
blades. I have defined 1 Gbyte swap space, so I have to be careful.

My old PII has 224 Mbyte ram.
The next model will be bought soon (dreaming of a 1.4 Ghz Athlon with 1 GB
DDR sdram).
