David <globulous objects> They are really no big deal. You can get one going in no time at all. Just slice an oblong lofted, rather simple shape. Assign it 40-50 transp with a high specular Luminance and very shiny so that the spec highlights will really glisten. Throw a low % NOISE2.SXP, head off to the keyframer and give the shapes hierarchy. You can size individual slices and turn off the size hierarchy in Link Info. It is very easy to make an object appear liquid, and effected by secondary forces like wind or gravity. Hot butter running off one of those aweful looking scones would not be difficult, but you would have to forward a scratch and sniff sample to really get to your client. Jeffrey
