Kyle, I believe what is supposed to happen in a UVmap for SPURT is that the particles take their color from the horizontal and the trail takes it's color from the vertical. According to the docs, the UV map is suppose to scale to the START and END within the FRAME ENVELOPE. Well, what seems to happen is that the UV work correctly with regard to horizontal and vertical color read, but the map is scaling to the entire frames in the animation. That is a bummer, as it makes mobility and functionality a major tweakaaarooo. Oh well, unless anyone else has conquered this, I'll have to scale the map within the associated pixel width as it relates to total frames… or, isolate the segment as a stand-alone animation and V-Post it. While I am at it I might as well figure out a macro for re-writing UVmaps according to scale frames. Jeffrey
