Paul, field rendering makes anim compression less efficient. That doesn't mean you can't play back a field rendered anim, it just won't play back as well as a 30fps anim. Of course, most folks are thrilled with 15fps on their computers. I've been single-frame recording my animations since 1986 (I used to do them by hand back then (don't ask me how!)) so I have a difficult time accepting anything less than perfectly smooth animation. As far as transparent objects and fog goes: are you extruding your transparent object? Imagine needs transparent objects to have two sides for transparency to work properly. Let me know if that helps. –Rick Rodriguez
