Thanks Martin….appreciate the comments. Spline types are fascinating and I have used them in various CAD & 3D app's for a long time – almost exclusively. That's one of the reasons it's very difficult for me to get very deeply into using 3DS's (or any poly-based) modeler – although 3DS has a very good modeller in general. I am most certainly not a programmer and terrible at math, but I've been compelled over the years to learn as much about their theory/use as possible. The various types available in a 3D app. is certainly useful, not only for modelling, but for use in controlling animation timing, etc. as well. I know you are having fun with SoftImage – especially the animation features. Maybe B.Gates will enable me to afford SI for personal use running on my PC's soon ! <BG>.
