Hi, Jason! Aurora Mapping is intended to be a jack-of-many-trades. Most important application of Aurora will be _True 3 dimentional_ _with animatable size_ ATMOSPHERE (aura, halo, magic field) with soft (hard) edges around specified object. Aurora should be able to create (very important) ENTERING the Atmoshere (dust, fog) effect. So the deeper your spacecraft enters the atmoshere (magig field, fog), the less visible it became. As an additional benefit Aurora will be able create new geometry with the IPAS we call Inflate (see Lee Steel message). Aurora is ready, but we need at least a month to implement this "entering the atmosphere" effect. Be patient, Alex, Video International
