Did a lot of work, and have a lot of cool stuff coming up..too busy to type it all up :-)
HDR, Tonemapping, new shadowing algorithm, car shader, etc. shown in these screens.
It looks amazing in motion.
I've just fixed the shadow aliasing issues visible in these screens as well...it looks much better >:-)...another update soon.
