Hope you don't mind some constructive criticism. First of all, I Love this already, I can't wait to see the "final" version. But I do have a slight tendency to be distracted by the ground....Perhaps a different texture map would be in order. See, if you tile the swirly one, it just LOOKS tiled. And of course, I have NO idea how to fix this. Perhaps Mark in his infinite Texture mapping wisdom could help more... Everything else looks beautiful. Could add some yellow fog for that "dusty" look, or turn on depth... Peace, Hoborg
