There are other flyers??? OOps, yes there are. Sorry, initially I thought that the one in the centre was some sort of turning indicator on the main vehicle, and completely missed the one to bottom right. personally, I don't think this scene needs other flyers. It's already very busy. Also whilst the lights on the main vehicle work quite well for the scene, the ones on the others should probably be deleted altogether. Light just doesn't work that way. It starts bright and fades off rapidly (inverse square rule). And it only shows up if it hits something. That something could be a solid object (eg a building), or it could be dust/smoke in the atmosphere (causing scattering). But the atmosphere you have here looks very clear, so no lights should cast beams at all. (After all, none of the office windows are..) OTOH, on the main vehicle, the "headlamp" could be MUCH brighter, and the area around if darkened. Try standing in a street at night and watching the headlights of on-coming cars to see the effect I mean.. Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to be sarcastic; I like the image, and that effect could be very useful. But personally, I don't think it fits here... I'm just trying to be helpful and could probably be wrong.. Cheers, Diolma
