  18. Re: transparency @ bottom of contrail...My texture center is *exactly* at 
  19. the bottom of the object. My results turned out pretty crappy. I like the 
  20. end of the trail moving away from the origin, along with but behind the 
  21. rocket. When I get to work on Tuesday, I'll check it out again. It's been 
  22. a slow week. :)

  24. Re: useful values for edge threshhold...My problem is that sometimes 
  25. values of 1.0 just don't give me enough falloff. And, it's those times 
  26. that a transparency map isn't workable, due to the fact that the option 
  27. is being used for another aspect of the texture.
