Remember Mark's Marble ? : Summer of '05 ? No ? Basically it was the usage of Mark's cloud Mat (I trimmed the six thousand lines of trailing text from the bottom of your mail so that I could include it below) . ********************************************************** Mark : Here is a really simple rendering , of a sphere with an Earth mapping (thanks edmond) using your Volumetric Cloud shader . I don't think I did too much there , except change your "Distant Light" out for a "Spotlight" . Anyway , a 36 Minute render , Ray Traced shadows ... http://www.studiodynamics.net/images/marks_marble_shad.jpg and then shadows turned off .... Four minute render ; http://www.studiodynamics.net/images/marks_marble.jpg Cheers Mark ! ******************************************************** studio www.niagara.com/~studio www.studiodynamics.net
