Thanks, Hammerfel...actually there ARE zigzag tracks in the snow on the first shot...guess they're not as visible as I'd wanted, though. Not sure how I'd enhance that in Photoshop...anyone have any ideas on THAT?
Also, I messed around with the multiple transclucent Ice Sabres a little more last night, and didn't really like the results. What basically happens is that the missile hits as the Sabre is launching in the air. It's hit by flame and smoke, but no damage is done or anything.
I'll try that curved motion blur idea...
Thanks!
Justin
