-
- I have finished a new picture and would appreciate some opinions. Also I
- have two questions. I was having trouble using the blast texture.
- Basically, no matter what I did the center color was coming out black.

- I havn't used the blast texture with any color other then the
- default, so I can't answer that.
-
- Also, there appears to be a blue rent in my road in the blast area. Why?

- The blue is showing through from you ground which looks like thick
- fog covered wetlands, with bumps. Somehow you have infected that part
- of the road with some transparency, perhaps part of the blast is
- causing the transparency?
-
- The road is a roughened bent plane with stripes applied down the center. It
- is an object with states and now as I type this I wonder if that had
- something to do with it.

- Shouldn't

- Hmmm.... Also, I originally was going to use a
- spiral - courtesy of Darran's wonderful little program - for the beam from
- the sky but my fire texture wants to follow the z-axis which of course
- doesn't follow a spiral. I finally gave up. This crazy picture got out of
- hand as I made the whole thing as a grouped object in the detail editor and
- never made it to the stage editor. I was just playing with a few things
- which got out of hand. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

- I like your column of fire with the wrap around smoke, a very nice
- job. Also liked your sky.

- I would have thought the center should be anything but black as the colors I
- chose in the blast texture are bright - orange, red, etc. I thought it
- might be related to states so I tried applying the texture and tacking it to
- the bent state. I can't apply it to the default state because I can't
- locate the specific portion to apply it to until it is bent. If this sounds
- confusing it is because I am seriously confused.

- It appears to me that all the black area of the blast texture are transparant.
- Do you have the genlock button checked on that texture? Black is usually the
- color that is transparent when genlocked, so I'd suspect that is the problem.
-
- Other than that, it's really a nice picture, with a lot of interesting stuff
- in it. I really like the flame beam.
