I don't think I've ever done any work on the 2D cloud layers. I've always hoped (in vain) that 3D cloud performance would be good enough that they'd become irrelenvant. I'll have a look at the code. It might be possible to "soften" the edge by simply reducing visibility as you approach the edge. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
