Hiya, >> I've just fooled with it for about an hour… it's obviously going to be the next great step << Of that I have no doubt. The idea of being able to paint directly on an object eliminates map positioning which can be a task in itself. That you can refine and store what you've painted, even if its just a coordinate system of some sort, is a real help. I imagine a job will come along that makes it a must have and I'll get it then. >> to be in a position… << Nice wish, I'm sure they'd consider your input regardless. I know I would. (I _did_ come to think of it. <g>) Actually you've had quite a few good suggestions about a variety of things. No reason to be modest about expressing them now. 🙂 So… I uploaded an imagine in Lib 1 as part of a tutorial that proved rather inadequate but I think got the point across. I was going to mention it earlier but I thought better of it. Partly because of the subject matter and partly because of style, per your comment "Photorealism isn't everything." <g> Anyway its called TPANEL.ZIP and should you download it, see if you can view it on the Ill Pro, as its rendered at that rez. and looks especially nice in a _real_ framebuffer. <g> Speaking of which I got my Ill Pro installed on the Intel P90. Its terrific and seems alot more stable than on the EISA, which has an odd memory arrangement as well. I haven't got to Redon's works yet but its on hold, just a matter of me dragging myself over there. <g> I've heard that Fractal Painter was going 3D as well but somehow it didn't register. Have to look into it. No… No… not another upgrade. <G> Jeez I could keep writing, but gotta run… Later, John
