Test, test, tweak nodes, test, slow business!

Looking good. I think if you had to work at one of those side consoles though you'd end up with really bad eyes, thanks to those bright lights in front of you

There'll be something in there, so those big lights are just there to illuminate the space, you shouldn't have direct line of sight to them. Should give whatever's in there nice rim lighting!

yes and no Matt, the lack of real lights means fprime really chugs, so while I can get a really good, quick preview, to get a good closeup, I have to render it with LW. Plus Fprime doesn't support volume stacking, so the glass gets rendered wrong, or rebuild my surface with double sided nodes, for Fprime. The SGambOC node for occlusion, after my testing is FAR superior to the native lightwave occlusion nodes, and that doesn't work with fprime renderer (though oddly works fine with the previewer). Large ammounts of soft reflection and radiosity make Fprime chug! LW's interpolated radiosity and adaptive sampling AA, while not as blazing as I'd like, do beat Fprime in the long run. Mind, Kray is looking damn sexy these days too!
