Btw.. my browser (IE6 on XP) displays all attached images on this forum with the right side (cca20%) cropped off.
Any ideas how I could fix it ?
Thanks.

this also happens to me. any image that is wider than the forum template will simply be cut off.

odd thing is, if you click "post new reply" in the thread view below the reply box, the image has a scroll bar.

D'oh. Stop using that corporate POS.

BTW. Interesting picture. It looks like melted plastic bag flying in space...

The two meshes (one in the back with blue lightning and the black "stealthy" one in front) are high poly spheres with displacement warp modifiers, and they look terrific in their own.
Used different raytrace materials on them with tweaked transparency and self illumination maps plus a videopost filter for the red star.
Only I couldn't get the foggy look I wanted.
Interesting.. I've never noticed the plasticbaggishness..  :)
