A render with problems 2003-12-11 - By Hans Kylberg

I have made yet another FlyWay picture:

I had several problems with it, and just want to warn others.
The cabins are more suited for closeups. They are mainly nurbs, but
on this picture some of them are converted to polyhedrons, each
with something like 80000 vertices. The arcs carying the beams are
also quite complex.
What happen was that truSpace started crashing when doing simple things
like zooming with the mouse weel, or dragging some objects. At last
I found that I hit some complexity limit for truSpace. So I had to
use the Shape Clone TSX for most of the cabins. That helped.
Another problem is with the shadow catcher plane that I have at street
level. I have a background and an environment picture. With a shadow
catcher present, the reflections that otherwise shows the environment
picture instead shows the background so that the reflecting objects
seem transparent. This happens both with the trueSpace shadow catcher
and the TMGCGART Catcher. So I had to render some of the cabins separately
with the shadow catcher hidden.
