Of course, you won't get shadows or reflection maps to work this way, but Alec probably isn't too concerned about that. I've talked to Gary about a pseudo "bluescreen" effect whereby you could render your people against bluescreen type objects thereby preserving shadows and then composite your image with the transparency being the colour value of the "bluescreen" object. Right now it's RGB 0,0,0 only but this could easily be changed to any colour value you selected, IMHO. Don't know what Tom and Dan would have to say about that but I think it would be a totally brilliant ability. What do you think, matey? Knowing you, you've probably flowcharted and spec'd out this capability already <g,d&r> Martin "name-dropping with the best of 'em" Foster
