Back that looks great, I think that you should flair the flight really blinding bright just as it emerges from behind the planet then drop it to the rate that you have now. I think that this would make it more dramatic IMO. But it looks great!

Good one, Dave. I do think it would backlight the atmosphere in dramatic fashion as it rounded the planet (maybe a round plane with a transparent edge and a change in ambient light to make it brighten?), and create a brightly illuminated crescent as it rose higher. Did you use a spotlight?

A quick "proof of concept"
http://home.comcast.net/~dianeangelini/sr2.avi <http://home.comcast.net/~dianeangelini/sr2.avi>
Always wanted to try this, but I could never figure out how to make it look realistic. Still needs some tweaking in terms of the animation timing, but as a proof of concept, I think I figured it out.
Thanks,
