The main reasons to upgrade to v11 are faster rendering in general, much faster and higher quality GI rendering, and the new non-linear animation system. You can always download the demo and see for yourself whether the new stuff makes sense for what you do from a cost/benefit perspective.

It doesn’t work exactly the same way, but it’s more or less represented by the target distance in the camera’s depth tab, or the center orange dot in the camera cone when the camera is selected.
If you want to drag it around you can give the camera a target tag and target a null. Then drag the null around to move the POI.

Honestly I can’t remember what the issues were with the EXR’s — just that there was some kind of unresolved problem with them. Could you maybe convert them to HDRs or 16 bit tiffs?
Your AA settings are already fairly high. I would put a compositing tag on the objects that are giving you problems. That way you can specify higher AA just for those objects. Maybe start at 2×4 and move up from there.

The AA problem looks like you just need to increase your AA settings. As far as the other goes, I’ve heard that there are some “issues” with Open EXR rendering. If you can, I’d try rendering it to plain .hdr

Turn on shadows for the light.

They could have done it any number of ways:
* omni light with falloff in the middle of the room;
* spot lights directed at each surface;
* global illumination;
* ambient occlusion…. -
That’s awfully clever, Lennart!

Looks nice, Stuart … but none of the videos seem to play. I just see the QT logo with a question mark in the middle.

Mm, I don’t think you understood. The object buffer is to knock out the floor. Then you have to composite the reflection pass on top of that.

The wind deformer won’t loop if that’s what you’re using. What you can do instead is put a noise shader in the flag material’s displacement channel to provide the movement. Most of the noises are loopable via the “Loop Period” parameter.
