I only get photo's of the person from distance of close but not really from the area behind her. I saw your photo's with beautiful different raining en thunder eviroments, very foggy area, how did you do that?
Yes, it is good to have the forum back again and working. From what Dave said, he's removed the feature that was causing the problems, so all should be OK now. I haven't tried three checkpoints, just two, but they are two very different ones so that probably helps make the differentiation a bit clearer. You have to run with the merged checkpoint for a while to see how it is varying, it isn't always that obvious from a few images. LeosamsHelloWorldXL50... seems to me to be the best checkpoint for getting differing views, e.g. backviews, distant views etc. It's worth persisting with and seems to merge well with other checkpoints, retaining it's different perspective. I've mentioned I use wildcards a lot, I have two wildcard files that cover my lighting/weather, one is for "time of day" e.g. night, golden hour, blue hour, midday, afternoon etc and the other is for the weather e.g. clear bright sunlight, snowstorm, hail, torrential rain, dense mist and fog, ground mist, etc. The time of day file has 12 entries and the lighting/weather file has 37 entries giving 444 combinations!
