I'm not Rick…..but try setting yer Global world size to 0,0,0 and this MAY help yer Transparancy problems

NO SHININESS ALLOWED. Make sure it's set to zero.

too all. i have no 0 shininess, and a global size 0,0,0 i have on blueglass attrib. object infront of a plane and 3 light sources. when i trace i guru, HARD. and if i scanline it's ok. it seems like a problem i am tempted to use the integer version of imagine and see if it works, i wonder how it will run on an 040 [D MATT
