Re: png image render problem

Has the PNG been provided with transparent background? When I do similar stuff I do the following. I'm pretty new too so I'm sure there are much more efficient techniques: Create a file in Pshop... with the same RGB background as the green of the canopy. Paste in the image from the sign-writer. Save...

Re: CPU usage whilst using GPU acceleration

I find this also.

I can quite happy work on other projects whilst rendering using GPU. (I actually find it pretty handy)

my system is i7-2600 (3.4GHz)
16 GB ram
Nvidia Qadro 4000 GFX card
