[rendering questions]

Without knowing exactly what your project is doing with the grass I can't say for certain, but it sounds like a bug I reported a while back about rendering dynamics with multi-pass rendering. If you "bake" the dynamics into the scene (be sure to save a copy of your project before doing this) everything works just fine.

[Cool color picker?]

Several of the tutorials I've found on-line as well as some from the A:M training videos show a color picker on Windows that's much more usable than the one I get when I try to pick colors.

 

How do I turn it on? Is it a plug-in I can download from somewhere?

 

 

Thanks
