The GIF works. The image type of choice is JPG. The file size is usually smaller, and usually looks better. It helps a lot if you compress the JPG a bit, too. If you save at 80 to 90% quality, the file size is considerably smaller, with very little loss of visible quality. Now for the image. I like it. The green "mist" in the center looks good.

Thanks. Actually the entire image is setup for animation. The "green mist" will be an envelope surrounding the sphere as it progresses out into the foreground for a morph. As I said, there is a lot more detail to be added and the ambient light has to calm down. All in all, I'm satisfied for my first image. Thanks again for the input and the JPG suggestion...I'll post my final image that way.

Hi Belderma! Welcome! I like it, fine work. I dig the green fog/smoke stuff! Nice texture jobs and atmosphere as well. Fine work. I hope to see more. Have a great evening! Clint

Lookin' good. I'd try shinning a spot on each of the lights on the wall with the angle drop off feature and shadows off. Seems too dark in the immediate vicinity of the lights. Great effort on this one! Mark

Good idea, haven't thought of that method...will give it a try. Thanks
