>>in a walkthrough, particularly the lighting but I would recommend 3D Studio for any kind of 3D animation. It is perfect for dropping in little details like the ceiling fans, opening doors, etc. Chris Ok, you touched upon a particular question I have. It may be basic, but I learn by "leaping around" a lot instead of sequentially. What I was wondering is if there are any IPAS's to keep regular motions active trhoughout the animation. E.g. keeping a ceiling fan turning in a circle at a specified rate throughout your animation, no matter how short or lon it may be, and no matter how you might scale the various segments. So far, the way I've been doing such things has been to manually turn them – but if I were going to do a roomful of fans for an extended period, it would be nice to specify their repetetive motion and let the KXP have at it. Any ideas? A quick question – how do you usually do your modeling? DO you use Acad and import it in? I also would be interested in hearing more about your microgravity work, it sounds fascinating, provided you're free to discuss it. You can send me mail if you don't want to tie up the forum. Thanx!
