That shouldn't be a problem. Just render the high resolution
one and scale it down using some image-manipulation
program. Problem is getting the first image though. That's
why the lighting needs to be finalized. Once that is done,
I'll jump onto the train.

Also, I've thought about the ships in the water. It might be
useful to use my Water-Simulation for the individual wakes
of the ships. Once they're finished, I could animate the hulls
across a surface and save those results to disk as a mesh.
These could then be rendered as a heightfield, which could
be applied to the water.

I'd have to recode a macro of mine for that, but thats no big
deal. I'm not so sure though if the heightfield could get applied
to the water that easily, or if I'd have to write a little macro which
will map the heightfield onto the water-surface.
Is it an isosurface, or a plane?
