Thanks for the info! No I have NOT been extruding my transparent objects. I have been trying to use a disk plus texture to create flaring lights in an underwater scene (ala SeaQuest), but the disks eliminated the global fog wherever I used them. Now you say if I extrude the disks slightly, giving them two sides, this won't happen. Yea! I'll give it a try. 🙂 I DO want a PAR system but for now I'll have to settle for using my 4000 and DCTV to pump out the frames real time. If I use 3 bitplane mode I can fit about 200 frames NON compressed in my 18megs. I could then play back the required 60 fields/sec. by page flipping. I'll let you know how it works out. …AutoPilot Engaged… -Paul-
