I got about an hour to play around with this today and here is what I found: Make a cube Assign Tornado – default settings okay set up a light, camera, and materials go to keyframer, configure rendering options, render single frame — to this point all is well — go to the shaper and make anything loft it (or not – in the case of a mask) bring it into the editor and assign tornado to it as well – make some changes to the default settings though. assign material go to the keyframer and render the single frame again –> the first object has had its settings turned off! The same thing also occured if I made the "shaped" object a "matte" object rather than another tornado. I did this three times with three different sessions in 3DS. My partner also did it and we duplicated the problem each and every time. This was not tested to further to see what else we could do to create the problem. Ran out of time. Let me know if this helps! Chris
