Also known as why a new video card is becoming a real necessity lol. Very nice video.

Very nice video with the shadow effects - though i can point out a few things that would have made it better :) just fussy that way

Great! More lag, that's all we need!

um, the cinimatography is nice and smooth, But shouldn't the fan dance contain fans?

If Dirk is reading, could he share with us what specs he uses for filming and graphic card etc, that was just simply amazing.

Very lovely; and I wonder how they managed to get the dancing so well synchronized with each other, unless it was by something like a poseball.

I agree with Silverfox, I was still 'testing' when I did this, the YoutTube info points this out.

alpha issues are common with shadows - and yes the Legacy clouds should have been turned off - saw the utube info
