Thank you again, Joe. I'll be experimenting with the transparent earth
trick. So far it hasn't really acheived a look of transparency. It
barely looks like the light is emanating from the inside because the
surface continues to look opaque. When I set the transparency any higher
than 50% it just seems to get darker or disappear.
It seems to be related to the combination of the double-sided polygons
plus the point light that I have set in the center of the globe, but I
am too inexperienced to know for sure. I'll try to change the surface
by imitating some glass object I've got, then I'll try to light it some
other way.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to get an earth model to appear to be
pulsing/emanating light? It's just not looking exciting at all.
Thanks
