/* Also, with regards to architectural applications, would it be easier to construct 3D models in AutoCAD and then import them to 3DS or just do it all in 3DS (given the fact that I'd need to learn one or the other anyway)? */ Your situation is common. For productivity reasons, yes I would encourage you to translate ACAD stuff (via DXF) to 3DS using 2-sided materials toggle in the rendering menu to get you up and running. Later you can wrestle with 3DS's ability to generate geometry without ACAD, but for fastest results, using what you already know will go quicker. -dave
