Hello John, <<1) Save your "set" mesh to use over and over, and just MERGE you actors, lights, cameras, etc…>> Now I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. One cannot import just a camera, can they? What about the subsequent animation? 2) The only problem with using the EXCLUDE as a scrim is that you end up using two or more lights instead of one light and a couple scrims – I don't know what kind of overhead each light has (I'm still waiting for _the_ book on 3DS, which describes _everything_ including overhead and how-it-done :-). I would think using scrims would probably be more economical. The projector is a good idea but it still affects it's whole range – with the scrim, you can selectively apply it to on area or object, while maintaining the original intensity. 3) You're right about my third point. I just thought it'd be cool if a yellow light pushed through a blue shade would cast a green light on the wall. Thanks James
