Hi. I was just wondering if you can fade a matrix intstead of ghosting one. Ghosting looks okay but it becomes too transparent. It would be great if I could ghost it, but less powerfully. There could be a way of changing the light to make it darker. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thnaks.

have you tried texture alpha? some paint programs allow you to change the alpha levels of textures adjusting them within the opaque/transparent range. You could even do this in dark basic by making a memblock from the image and adjusting them yourself.

not sure what you mean but light can have negative values in DB (sort of "antilight"), you can use negative light in conjunction with spotlights to make simple object shadows, it might make a ghosted matrix look more "solid" if thats any help.
