The sphere scenery I did, all hollow glass spheres, had a dark bending too. So that's nothing to really worry about unless you want to make them look faked. As Wigand said you could make the glass a bit thinner which would reduce the size a bit, but I think those typically have to look this way. Fantastic job !

This applies to Lighworks, which I think you are using here, so its worth investigating to see if it makes a difference. HTH!

Still got a few ideas left. Tom, I tried to send you a provate message, but you're not receiving them. Did you get the e-mails? Chris Post by chrisj // Jul 2, 2007, 11:09pm chrisj Total Posts: 239 Tom, replied to you yesterday. Did you finally get my message? Chris Post by TomG // Jul 3, 2007, 2:36am TomG Total Posts: 3397 Hi Chris, Thanks for your perserverance - this post here reminded me to check my junk mail, and there it was. Something about the email address must trigger filters to recognise it as junk :( At least in the case of my personal email, I can still get to those (company email filters those before they even hit the mailbox!). Sorry this was such hard work for you, will now send along a reply. Best regards! Tom
