David, >> Ooohh, sounds like you've got a cool idea. Could do some pretty wild stuff eh? << I'd like to combine refraction with bones pro, but it sounds unlikely with the limit of one .axp – my project doesn't lend itself to dumping morph targets from bones. It would create a scene of 5 million faces. >> How's things at Metrolight? << pretty hellish at the moment, although I'm loving the challenge. I'm finishing up a film resolution shot for "Virtuosity". Technically a pretty complicated shot, I have to composite a CGI holographic talking head to the top of a kiosk in a live shot. There is no motion data for the camera move other than some measurements and the kiosk is of a known size. The cyberscanned head reads the news report and it's done by optically motion capturing the performer reading the lines then bring the data into 3ds. I used the plug-ins: keyscript, IK, camera perspective matcher, bonespro – ironically most of Autodesk's r4 plug-ins. Plus a new 3rd party one. Had to pull out all the stops on this one <g>. In addition, to the former shot which I'm handling alone, I'm supervising a team on the production of a commercial for Korean TV (kindof an Egyptian/Stargate type of thing). Phew <g>. Martin Are you going to the party? <<
