thanks for all your help! i relised the problem was the amount i was using...#newbie mistake alert#

i didnt relise you could type in your value rather than using the wheel(which increses and decreases in 0.010 each notch). Once i figured that out i could change the amount to less than 0.010 and it looks cool at around 0.006.

Thanks again guys your were very helpful and speedy replies!

would anybody mind reviewing my render and letting me know what they think. i need some constructive criticism so dont hold back haha
