bantha, thank you for the thread link. I'm reading through the whole thread to see what I can learn .

bagginsbill, thank you for being so helpful. I'm going to give your shadow catcher material a try as soon as possible. May take me a little while to figure out, I've just recently ventured into the material room and playing around with changing nodes and stuff. I still find some of it a little confusing :huh: . I'll venture back in there and see what I can do. I'll let you know how it goes, may end up having a few questions :blushing: , but I'll see what I can figure out on my own. I'll keep you updated. Thanks so much.
