Hi Balaenanun, Ahhhh, smooth gradients - the holy grail of photographers, artists, designers and printers everywhere. ;) This may not actually be an issue in the final render. Save the render settings of your current camera in the render room so you can easily plug them back in. Then create a new camera in the assembly room and create a frame in one of the problem areas and render at full resolution in this new area. Then check out the render and see if the problem is still there. It may be less of an issue at full rez. Will you be printing this? Honestly, smooth gradients are almost impossible to reproduce in any software including Photoshop and Illustrator. I'll usually throw in a little noise in Photoshop to erase any banding that is going on. Additionally, you can use the Photoshop filter "Remove Dust and Scratches" pretty effectively to eliminat banding. There are some other tricks to try but these are the easiest. Mark
