Hi Greg, What would it cost to get the books you wrote to Europe (the set of 3, or 1 single of the 3), and can I order if I would want to buy them by E-mail ? By the way, I have a questiion for you, in one of my 3Dmodels when I render in 3Dstudio, one face in a large building wall, seems to render wrongly, when I try to flip it it does not help (2 sided rendering is on), however when I split the face up in 2 two faces, only one of those keeps the problem. Could it be something I did by accident to the face I do not know. I tried redrawing it, but in a complexe 3D drawing even if only one layer is active, this not simple in 3Dstudio, much easier to change in AutoCAD. Is there now way I could redraw that one troubling face in AutoCAD, and then import it into 3Dstudio as a DXF, but how can I make sure it becomes part of the same object in 3Dstudio ?? That is the trouble and the thing I'd like to know more about. Also in large 3Ddrawings as a building I really find it nearly impossible to create 3Dmodels I can render with 2sided off, if it would be a small object no problem, but when you copy or mirror things in AutoCAD etc… the time you need to get all faces facing the right way, is really to much money spend for nothing, I'd rather have some more rendering time in 3Dstudio, at least I can let the PC do the work (while I sleep). I do think some more can be done to solve this problem much mor userfriendly in 3Dstudio, maybe a tip for the next version ? Christophe,
