Hi Maya doods/doodettes,

I'm trying to achieve a 'Mother Earth' scene with Maya, ya know, the Sun crescent ascending over the horizon (kinda classic), the prob is that i'm using a point light as the sun with optical FX, but no matter what i seem to do with the optical FX or render globals, the light shines 'through' the spheres {Sphere 1 is a phong with reflectivity set to 0} {sphere 2 (outter) is a lambert with transparency set to half} {glow type is linear with no halo} the point light is way behind the spheres?? what have i done wrong?
