Well... yes. The code I have been using is a far newer version. In fact, it has migrated down a completely new path. The program is now called IBX. I have never updated the program because there didn't seem to be any interest in it. Parrotdolphin is the only other person I know of that has ever used it on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, I don't have a tutorial for IBX. The use of it is very similar to PIBL except that area lights are used to get smooth shadow edges. The tool does a much better job of initially aligning lights in the scene. There is only one include file that contains all the light quality sets and parameters. There are only 4 quality settings. You can specify a prefix and use multiple include files in a scene. The lights run faster for the same level of performance in PIBL. There are some special light generation modes...... More items I can't remember.... If you are really interested, I can post something to the scraps again. IBX is not quite ready for prime time. I am still playing around with its algorithms.

Some of my IBX Images....

Well, if it's possible, I'd love to be able to try it out and give you some feedback. I tend to be a frequent tester of things (games, preview images, 3d models, books, and etc.) and I may be able to work something out with IBX, so long as it has some documentation on what the program does or switches it uses at runtime.
