Please read the textfile in the archive for a short documentation.
If this version does not work with Win2000, i can only say sorry, dunno why!

ALSO FORMULA UPDATES CAN CHANGE RENDERINGS!

Found a small bug, on my computer anyway
On Ambient Shadows SSAO24r, Calculation Count Number does not increment (displayed number stays at 1) the pass count does increment it just doesn't display the correct number. No big thing as long as you know about it

lol, 250 downloads in just one day, great work jesse!

That is impossibly good! Especially glass imho works a lot better! Only I don't like much the new sample param :) was trying to make it more interesting. ;)

Thanks guys, i am not really working 'hard', just as much time i have and as much i like to... until GPU renderers becomes more common  :dink:

No, you're just lazy!  :tease:

Anyway, thanks. Just about to download

Thanks a lot Jesse! I like the intensity option for global light ... very useful.
But clicking the 'bars' of the new post processing window doesn't bring it to the top. That's not really a prob but quite unusual.

There are many unusual things happening with the new compiler version and its components, i am quite disappointed with spending 200 bucks for it and receiving no updates for it  :sad1:
More serious compiler versions would start at 1000 bucks, no thanks.

Of course, this issue is unusual but should be no big problem.

ps:
Notifier for a second quick update:

Update version 1.8.2:
  -  Issues with reflections fixed.

Small update for new formula with more styles of columns, and an infamous parameter :dink:
