Michael: Z-clipping is the first thing that comes to mind. I'd try a setting of .1 and see if that works. I've used this setting and have had success, FWIW. If this fails I would link everything together in the Keyframer and scale the whole model up. To cut down rendering time have you deleted all of those cube bottoms which are sitting on the ground? Can you delete any other faces which never get pointed to the camera? Can you exclude some cubes or other objects from your light source? Can you change the attributes on some objects to keep them from casting shadows or receiving shadows? A couple ideas anyway. Bob
