QUOTE] this is the name of the game really. that's what we all spend half the time doing. anyhow. you've got cool stripes on the ground. not sure what your try9ing to accomplish though. so far it looks like a tunnel to drive scooters down on a video game.

Noticed in another of your posts that you're learning mr on Max6. (Welcome, BTW) mr is pretty hard, esp the older versions - the newer final gather makes things easier (but slower). I didn't really get the hang of it until this summer when I started using it in Max7 and 7.5. Looks like you need sharper textures and more photons / samples / all that stuff. Try the tutorials they give you with Max, and most of the books on Max cover mr also, but I haven't found anything on it that's really good, so for me it was about practice and a lot of waiting.
