Hi Andrew! RayMan Release 1.0 supports self illuminated materials but not self illu. mappings and masks. BTW: if a material is self illuminated it doesn`t act like a omni-light. (Maybe you thought that because RayMan is a raytracer…). That means that a self illum. material doesn`t throw light rays through the scene and doesn`t illuminate other objects. That`s the same like 3DS. (… well, I should think about to implement this as an feature for following versions: self illum. materials should act like a omni-light with little intensity…) Hope this helps. Michael
