Hi David, Yes I did create it in the 2D shaper, but I also lofted it with the default path down to about nothing so they would have just a little depth to them. Did try simply bringing them into the 3d editor from the shaper but I did not like the what I called 'lack of depth', that may not be the correct term. They looked more like artificial flowers. The material is a variation on red plastic, a deeper red with a lot less shine that I thought look very close to the red roses in my yard. What I am trying to do is make a flower that looks like a flower. Well all is OK at the moment since I flipped the normals on the petals that did not show. I know I need more work on the WHOLE program. But I am learning. Tonight I was trying to use a flick from Animator as a background and somehow I clicked the .cub and I could not release it. I finally had to save the project and exit 3ds V3 and re-enter to elimate it making the .cub file. Hit the book but I could see no way to get back to rendering the fli with the 3ds stuff without it making a .cub file. When re-entering the progam I finally got it done, The background is not good. Did render at the .FLI resolution. Fli is '92 Autodesk Animator. I sure do wish there was a way to convert all the AA fli that I have done into 3DS besides materials, background and projectors. Guess we cannot have it all :). Thanks for the reply……………………….Jane in South Carolina
