Hi there! I have a logo\spaceship flying towards palnet earth. I used the earth mesh and texture map that comes with the World Tool Kit. It works fine. However, I want to add an Atmosphere to good old Planet Earth. I tryed a larger spehre surrounding Earth, with a semitransparent closd texture map. It looks a little better, but still the larger sphere ends abruptly and it looks fake. I wonder if there is a technique to give more of a halo effect. Also on a different note: Are there any good tutorials on explosions. Thanks a million ALEX IMBASTARI CARRERA COMPUTERS
