nikitacreed ... If it saves you the work, what you can do is render out your scene as it is ... then import it as a separate layer into Photoshop (or another program that works with layers). Draw an oval selection slightly smaller than the crystal ball thingy, then feather the selection somewhere around 25-50 pixels or so. Copy that feathered selection into your clipboard and paste over the ellipse. Voila, you have your card. 8-) Dee
