Sean - It is working on my tree. (1/2 tree of 16 strands x 16 pixels each)
In my case, I have to start at the top of the tree for the text to be correct. If I select the 2nd row, it is not correct.
There seems to be a minor bug with the outputting. If I go back and make a change to the effect and re-create the Vixen files, there are remnants of the previous version of the effect.
Nutcracker rocks!!
I will be at home if you need to call me.
