Ken, You are just the man I was hoping to meet! How is the archiect giving you the files? Are you getting .DXF's with the textures as seperate .TGA files? How are you finding re-applying the textures? Are they giving you nice colour prints to help you? What machine are you using? Actually 30 min for a raytraced image does not sound so bad. I know lots of people are reluctant to use raytracing because of the time taken to render. Are you just going to give an .AVI file or are you going to go to a video? Do you like 3DS? I have seen lots of demos, but the program looks about as user friendly as a tax inspector. I want to see how tS 2 works out before I start worring about alternative software. Actually my biggest gripes about tS is its lack of hidden line, which seems to be solved by solid modelling in 2, and the amount of time it takes to navigate around an object. But I think that I am going to have to be _really_ desperate before I get down to 3DS. Ken
