    Hi there Dave,

    I have copied the properties of the layers of concern also, I moved the layers in concern above the camera, no change.

    If you are refering to layers 8 and 11. Layer 8 is at .7 Z, and 11 is at 0. In Z space as you progress in positive numbers the items will move away from you, negative numbers bring them closer.

    Layer stack doesn’t matter here, you have placed layer 8 behind layer 11, if you make layer 8’s Z position 0. It should move in front of layer 11.

    Thanks guys,

    I kinda thought it would be something logical and simplistic, funny thing is I did a quick on and off of the 3d in layer 8 and it worked also, but, I do understand the logic and have followed your direction.

    Actually Dave I kinda need the lights as I am doing a traveling spot on the character.

    John, I like your little bit of Edison logic even though I am more of a Tesla fan
