Here's the first part of the tutorial, you'll need Quicktime with H.264 codec to view it:

I'm too long-winded in the second part , I need to stop blabbing. The file size is on this last part is a bit big so to make it easier I'm breaking that up into sections, here's the next piece:

Third and final part. Sorry for the larger file size on this one. I didn't mention in the tutorial, but if you want to animate stars coming at you just animate the StarModels coming at the camera, the StarAction will move along with it.

cool!

I am having a problem with this tutorial,I can't find the alpha buffer in my render to file settings

Great, thanks!

"I am having a problem with this tutorial,I can't find the alpha buffer in my render to file settings "

I believe you need to render out to TGA in order to get the alpha buffer - someone corect me if I'm wrong.

Peter,

You're exactly right. For example, choosing JPG as Render to File Type, the Alpha option disappears. I'm in the habit of always rendering to TGA files so I'm always clicking the Alpha off. Thanks!

Ty very much Jim and Peter
