Hi Keith — To make a "moving reflection map," here's another approach that works in a number of software packages — I don't have 3D Studio (sigh), so am not able to check it: Use a single image that's reflection-mapped to the inside of an aribtrarily large sphere. Lock all the objects in the scene to the reflective text. Lock the camera and lights to the text, too. Then rotate the text — it will stay perfectly still in relation to the camera, but the reflections will dance across its surface. Hope this helps! jd
