Problem. Why when I try to make a Fog Object, it renders "invisibly"? I mean, I follow that little tutorial in the book, and apply color and fog length that is about 1X, 1.5X or 2X the Y length of the object. I even tried adding a texture or adding self-illumination – with no avail! Then I tried to both scanline it and trace it – but neither displayed the object! I mean it was like when the generating pallette came aroung, no pallette was generated (or one was generated in like a half a second). What's up with that? Also, I want to create a planet with an aura behind it like it had an atmosphere and that light shining from behind it scattered through the "atmosphere" of the planet. How can I do this? I was trying to do it with fog but I could not get the fog objects to show up! Thanks, – Brad
