Well, maybe I did go overboard with this one just a tad...but it was so durn gorgeous, I couldn't resist. It might create a problem for rendering though, because I suspect it needs a good deal of that "fake volumetric" stuff the manual speaks of. hmmm...maybe we need to try something easier? Well, maybe, but for now, I would like to see all who are interested give it a shot, even if that means faithfully reproducing a portion of it. I'm trying...not yet succeeding, but trying..LOL :) Mike
