Thanks for your comments everyone . . . 8^) Hey Bop . . . I agree with you 100%, I had more in mind when I started this one, but things started slowing down SO BAD, that I think I gave up on further additions. It was getting to the point that, just for the main preview to render it was taking almost 10 minutes, & several minutes for the screen refresh, every time I did the smallest adjustment. I'm only running a PIII 500, & I guess it's somewhat slow for doing work in Vue 4.06. There are 89 objects & 190000 polygons, in this scene. Hi Audity . . . I've got to be honest with you, I have no idea of how you would get out of the pods. Maybe they feel that once your inside, there's no need to get back out? Heheheh. Thanks Jon . . . Again, I have to say that I had different plans for that area of the image, but due to my system slowing down so dramatically, I gave up on my plans & just threw something in the center, so it wouldn't look so empty. Also, there are separate point lights at the very top of each sphere. You all have a good one . . . Mark. ;^)
