Hi Scott, <<< I am an intern architect … >>> Did you graduate from UB? I did back in '88. <<<I don't Know of any other users in my area. >>> Ask your dealer. Also, you might want to try over at RIT. They have a good CG program over there. <<< …am open to sugjestions on good reading or other sources of info…>>> I personally have the "Tips and Tricks" series, "3DS Applied" and 3DS Special Effects. All are very good. "Inside 3D Studio" seems to be the unofficial bible for 3DS. 'will get that when the others are paid for <g> . "Fallingwater in 3D Studio" is highly regarded for architectural rendering… There's a complete book listing in the libraries here, also you may want to try, ftp.3dartist.com. There's a few good info files there as well. While you're there, ask for a sample copy. Current issue is #18, features Architectural rendering and Texture mapping. There's also a new publication that has started up called Planet Studio. I haven't read one yet, but there's been plenty of comments about it in this forum. It also has an informational file in the library here. How's that for starters? And don't forget about ASOFT… er, excuse me, AMMEDIA or whatever the GO word is now… If you have problems finding the files let me know and I'll send 'em to you. Until later, Paul
