<<I think you'd find a lot of interest in such a routine, David. There was a thread here a while back where at least three or four of us expressed desire to buy something like this.>> I'm now looking into the feasibility of developing such an IPAS. Depending on what the developers kit offers me, I'll be able to determine if I can extract enough information from the 3DS scene to compute the boundary and interior outlines. I'll let you know how I progress. But in the meantime could you *outline* what your requirements are for such an IPAS. What specifically do you want it to do? In addition to the animated character outlines, such a routine would be useful for generating technical illustrations of mechanical parts and architectural buildings. In fact any 3DS object and/or scene that you wanted converted to an illustration(pen and ink strokes only) would benefit from such a routine. You could also create hidden-line removal images(something that isn't currently supported easily in 3DS). DaviD "Hi Ho it's off to work we go…" GouID
