Now with radiosity...

But I noticied something odd.  On the red done below the white arrow there
is an odd black line where all you should see is the reflection of the
white arrow above.  See top left.  I turned off radiosity and it was still
there.  I then turned off the flash (the only place I used media) and it
was gone.  See top right.  Any ideas?  The red dome is illuminated from
light sources inside the tank and uses 'double_illuminate'.  The light
sources inside the tank also use 'media_interaction off' as the media is
only illuminated by light sources inside the cannon.  I'm curious where
that black line is coming from.

Thanks,
Carl

Is it Tron-like ? Nice design but not antialisad enough on the red lines...

I agree.  I'd like the flash to give off more light without the flash itself
becoming white.  I'm still playing with the radiosity settings.

Yes, it's a TRON tank.  It's actually the slightly more complicated Tank
modeled by MAGI seen here:

Some of the details were striped off of this model to make the tank seen in
the movie TRON.

Agreed.

Thanks,
