Gary, The interaction stirred up by the "Lightwave vs 3ds" thread was very exciting! The heat generated by this challenge brought out people and projects that make 3ds users proud! The opening remark …"what the hell are you talking about", regarding the use of 3ds in serious projects reminded me of the opening scene of the original "Naked Gun" when the detectve (OJ) tries to kick open the door to the Drug dealers' room only to get his leg stuck thru the wood door, giving the 30 or so bad guys time lock and load, even clean their guns before he stepped thru to announce that they were under arrest! Our on-line heavy duty, code-chompin', project-doin' 3ds guys unloaded such a barrage of 3ds projects and retoric that I had to run outside my office to tell perfect strangers "hey, I'm really part of something here!!Come look at what they say…!". This is akin to nationalistic fervor and IF it led to the purchase of small Carribean Banana Republic, Hey! count me as a new citizen!! Studiocity 2000, BAH! We could recreate Brazilia only better and get to Wind Surf too! Hah! The 2nd language will be Spanish since ana has already set that precedent!!<G> MY QUESTION: Could we, please invite project effects developers using 3ds such as Cyberlab 7 (Dan Mapes) to be interactive for Q & A? (Origin or others?) Maybe it would it require a new forum or could it just happen in " take 5"? The processes used to go to interactive media (games) or cinema("Virtuosity") are very interesting!! Could we get that aspect of 3ds?? Gary
