I believe I encountered this message rendering the phalanx scene. The grass
height fields caused the error to scroll down and fill up the message window
after which the computer crashed. Rotating the grass a degree or two fixed it.

Thanks, I'm glad to get all these positve responses. And actually, it's more like 
the tiny ones are just a different species of mushroom, they don't grow as big as 
the other ones.

The rotation seems to have fixed the problem, thank you.

One reason you may be having trouble with the shadow is because some of the
mushrooms are actually floating!  Really!  Look at the shadows in the lower
right-hand corner.  See what I mean?  Shadows without objects.  Bring them
shrooms back to earth and I think your shadow problems will go away.

You aren't using the IRTC to promote shroom use, are you? j/k
H.E. Day was right, some of them are floating. Otherwise it's looking better
every day...err...post.

Actually, this is because I'm placing them randomly over a heightfield 
without varying their height. I found an easy solution was to just lengthen 
the stems.
