Thanks, I was feeling a bit flat last night, I'd been expecting
more from the higher quality settings.

The bark texture does look pretty good imo (see attached jpg), shame it
doesn't come across so well in the final.

The AA is pretty high as it is:
Sampling_Method=1
Antialias_Threshold=0.1
Antialias_Depth=4
I'd experimented with method 2 but the render times went way up,
I'd have to commit to some pretty slow renders to get rid of the
last of the graininess from the water.
