Back
Thanks, Cobus and best wishes for your upcoming birth. I set the deadline
because our birth was scheduled. I knew I had to be at least finished with
the rendering part before we went to the hospital. MS is MotionStudio. I
used both PPFX and Particle Illusion for the effects.
I also need to give credit to my wife for giving me the free time to spend
on this.
Spencer
