(forgot the 'reply all' button once again..)
Bugger. Oh well, thanks for the answer at least :)
I've "fixed" it for now by simply shifting everything forward on Z and ensuring
it stays forward. No major problem, but it adds a touch more confusion to an
already confusing setup. All this to render a single quad :)
Now, I'm going to hit the 'render' button on quartz crystal, and come back in
the morning. If I don't come back to a smoldering mac I'll post the video up on
kineme. Comp will have to wait until it's a bit more optimised (I have to run
at 160x120 on this box for decent speed!)
