In the example video above, provided by Exocortex, 1 million points are lit and rendered in about 1 second per frame and the shadow map is also created at the same time. Motion blur and DOF do not slow down rendering time. The simulation in this example is from an alpha-version of SlipstreamVX 2.0 and thus the smoke motion isn’t quite perfect in this video.
