Hi Deuce,
Happy 4th of July, hope you're having a nice weekend. Tried it, worked, looks
real nice. Now all we have left to do is finish our "teaser" is re-doing our
titling, and finishing our "bad guys"...

Do you know anything about recursion art? SpinQuad had a Webinar a couple of
weeks ago and we emailed them about a tutorial about it, we never hearde
anything back... Have some ideas using it for our bad guys and they did asked
Renn for a description as to how we wanted to use the recursion art. That's
when we didn't hear anything back, for 2 weeks now we've been trying to get a
motion path together for "light" as the recursion art was used in their webinar.
But without a tutorial, we're lost...
Thanks,
Mark

Have you thought of doing it in layers and compositing it ?
