Richard, >> I would like an IPAS to raytrace an object if I wanted without leaving 3ds. << There have been several discussions about this and interest as well. I don't feel a need for it, so I'm probably not a good person to ask. As a production tool 3DS is really fast. If you need raytracing for a project you might look into Accurender which is reasonably priced. I prefer "fugging" <g> because I like the "look" of 3DS. I've had people ask if my work was ray-traced, because they can't tell the difference. So, its not a big issue with me. For me the name of the game is speed with good design. 3DS has the right look and performance to get the job done, and beautifully I might add. -JE
