Shaders must be copied in the folder C:\Program Files\3Delight\shaders
In my case, I also copied them in C:\Program Files(86)\3Delight\shaders

It seems 3Delight renders faster when I run the 64 bits licence, although the 32 bits licence works also on XP Pro64 thanks to its compatibility mode.

Ah, that`s the missing bit. I haven`t known about the necessary shaders. I`ve downloaded them, and replaced them in the 3Delight folder. And now it renders with textures. Thanks guys

Mh, shows another little quirk though. The normalmapping is a bit strong. And i have already reduced it from 1.0 to 0.2. But that`s a minor thing since i can reduce it even further. Looks ok with 0.02

If you can post a sample scene I can track that down and adjust it.

Sure. Here we go. But as told, there is surely more important stuff to fix

Was 3Delight's hair capable of shadow casting in previous versions ? I think it was (although perhaps I'm wrong) ; however I don't see that feature in 9.0
Does hair cast shadows for you ?

Yeah, that's always been there. I agree that it would be nice if "1" gave an "average" result.

The hair in my setup self-shadows, but doesn't cast them on my PC with an area light or with a spot light. It doesn't seem to work whether you use raytrace shadows or mapped.

[edit] Just tried a spotlight with a map shadow, and it worked. Must have had "always ray shadows box" checked in the last test.

OK, I fiddled with the bumpmap shader script. Just copy it over the existing one. All I did was scale it down by 50. The reason it was so crazy is because truespace exports as a meter scale. So if you create a default box the size is 2x2x2. The renderman displacement map is more or less at the same scale, so you end up with nothing but displacement for small objects.

Thanks Clintonman

Thank you!
