zomb:

It's amazing, your render was cut off just below the leaves and I was like WHOA that looks awesome.

It looks slightly less awesome when you can clearly see the bottom

I think zsouthboy wanted to try using realflow for fluidsim but dropped the project. I would've ended up with triangles out of there - not what he's looking for. :) So no, don't look for help from me - I've got no idea. Might want to talk to Ono since, as others have said, that he did at one point ...

Well, I managed to crash it (looks like german error text that says cannot access memory at address) by choosing File->Quit When I opened an IGS, it took a while to update the window - in the mean time, it looks like it froze - perhaps you can add a progress bar?

Ono has said in the past that he had already considered making vignetting controllable, I assume he just never had the time.

Yes, i've had decent results with cloth sim in blender this way:
blend of diffuse and diffuse transmitter, try 60/40 and go from there.

The opposite is true, CTZn. Wider angle of view = more DoF.

Gorgeous render LOTRJ!

Yep.
