If any?! Hoo, boy, what an offer! If my keyboard doesn't short out from the drool, here goes: Is there a kybd shortcut for Move now? Selecting in the views with the mouse, and deselecting with / is cool, but you always had to go back to the side for Moving (80% of the work on that menu is moves IMHO). Any improvement in bump mapping? Mine always seemed 'grainey' on the edges, even when smoothed. How 'bout surface mapping speed. Always seemed to take too long. Is this the improved antialiasing your article mentioneed, or are we talking just the edges (which would be great anyway.) With the new shape mapping (?) can I use, say, fewer polygons for a cylinder and still not have the ends look like stopsigns? Is using the fewer polygons what gives the speed increase, or is this mapping fast? Booleans will be great. Now we can make the object before making the holes!!! Are they easy to work with (initially anyway)? Are you doing any more in-depth reviews in the near future for any of the Mags? If so, which and when. (That way you can get paid for all this work:-)) If not, what's the best way to get the info; IOW, is NewTek gonna send out any info to the faithful? Appreciate your time very much. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. >>Help, I've rendered, and I can't give up!!!<< … Nate, Emerald Video. Flyin' IFR on AP
