      Ok, I was just hoping a few amateur questions might rattle loose a possible solution. πŸ˜„

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        Tim, those lines on the marquee that disappear look to me as if they aren't actually drawn on the surface. That seems to be common in the models I've seen that Joel has made. Perhaps it's part of his working style. You know, the look he's trying to achieve.

        Joel, do you just have ground turned on and its color set to black? Try setting the Transparency slider all the way to the left. That will probably help some. You'll also need to play with the fog sliders.

          No, this really looks like a bug. I have turned on ground in my style, turned on fog under the view menu and the ground plane disappeared completely.

            Fog on

            the fog does cover the ground a little bit but it doesn't eliminate it. I did as I said above and set Transparency to the left.

                      Oops, I'm wrong. It has nothing to do with the animation export. JPG export gets the same weird result. It depends on whether fog is turned on.

                      The ground vanishes when I export the image (whether jpg or avi). The exported image is different than what I see on screen.

                      This is what I see in the model. The exported image (avi or jpg) with fog off looks the same. With fog on, the street vanishes.

                      So I still have a question. Why is the exported image very different than the model I see? I guess this is a bug?
