Erik, The render I did was at Medium Resolution ( I left the settings at what you had saved the scene at, except I changed the Adaptive Sampling to 16 from 32). The time was 175 for two frames so 87.5 seconds per frame ( I used the independent rendering mode on the Raptor to see if it works – it does). Yeah, I agree, turning off or lowering the 25% ambient light setting makes things a lot more dramatic and removes that clean cut CGI look. Its a really nice object and scene and thanks for uploading it so that the rest of us can enjoy it. No one, except maybe a NASA scientist would pick out the little stuff you have mentioned, how many people have acutally seen how the earth looks from space? Adib
