Ok, I dug it up – luckily, it was still around 😉 Ok, I was talking to you about wishing to be able to make certain objects appear and disappear throughout an animation. you said you didn't know this existed. That was my point. I haven't discovered that it does. There was a comment about using the HIDE KEY command, which I have yet to look up in the manual and play around with, so I can't vouch for its merits yet. As I said, what I've done so far with such objects as light has been to keep their falloff at a minimum until just before the camera enters the room, then quickly expand it to where I want it. I have yet to find out the BEST method for switching from one camera to another in the middle of an animation without rendering in seperate segments. This would be a nice little VP feature, which would allow cross fades from one angle to another without seperate renderings from each camera and re-rendering. -JK
