Greetings People. I have 2 questions resulting from something I did.
I am new to all of this and having a ton of fun with the tutorials etc. I ran across a tutorial on how to make a shaded sphere (tips and tricks section)
The tutorial was very easy - I made one in cyan blue. I then copied the image, set it across the screen and then did a blend to it (step 50) and the result is:

My 2 questions are this:
1. I thought the blend would remain the same size. However, when I blended the 2 objects it tapered in the middle. Any ideas why? It looks cool but I am not sure why that happened.
2. Is there a way to change the color. Right now if I apply a color I lose all the transparency effects.
Thanks for the help!

In case anyone wants to recreate this:
Draw a sphere according to this thread: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=4620
I then set the outline to none
I added a slight feather
Copied the image and applied a 50step blend
I moved the floor shadow around the add a little more black to the front center of the image.
