doesn't look like it, but at that distence from the ring a disk looks fine, a population is only nessary when you are close enough.

The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

Sonshine777, I didn't do anything with transparency or opacity. I did try though! There may be ways to control this in the Node settings for those up to speed unlike me  :) I did put a gap in the discs to give an illusion of transparency.

I posted my tgd file awhile back, when I needed cloud help, here's the post, if you want to take a look at the discs:

My solution was to make a 3-D ring object in Maya

It will look better when transparency works.
