/* Dave, Here's the technique I was describing and for a magnifying glass effect it works very well. The trick is to place a copy of the paper both above and below the magnifying lens. The lens is assigned a 100% reflective material and */ Oh wow. David this is a great tip. I get it. Totally! The lens reflects the inverted "above" paper image, and the image (having its normals flipped) is invisible to camera. Bravo. Excellent. Thank you. I'll give this method a whirl today. I've had fair success with the projector light method and just figured out some VPost capabilities to achieve this too, but you method sounds like the laziest (and most effective) yet. Thank you! -dave
