There's two solutions to this; Binary Alchemy, as has already been
mentioned, and also Jonesie's Genietail which shades well if you're prepared
to take the rendering hit from the shadows. Holger's shaders are faster and
you get a lot of flexibility in the rendertree but I still quite like the
feel you can get with genietail for some things.
You will have plenty of time to make tea and read comics, though, if you're
going for any kind of complexity.
