Hey,
    Well, that works well in my small test scene, but in the main scene the
fade problem remains. The color map is
                      [0.0 rgb<0,0,0.5>]
                      [0.5 rgb<0.4,0.4,0.8>]
                      [1.0 rgb<1,1,1>]
At the very center, there is a white sphere. Everywhere else, there is
either a blue glow (the first rgb value) or nothing, depending on what I
input for the first rgb set. The code in the test scene and the main scene
is identical. What's going on? Thanks,
    Michael
