Phil- <Is the transparent morph target hidden?> In the key framer, yes. In the 3d editor, no. <Also, set the morph key's continuity to 0> Did that. <What do you mean by the "peak" of the morph> Sorry, that was unclear. The effect is aparent throughout the morph, it is most obvious when the material is supposed to be completely transparent. The object was created in Acad R13 and has a fairly fine mesh. The object is essentially a piece of square tubing with a hole punched in the side. The band of transparent occurs below the hole, wher the triangles of the mesh meet the hole. Even though the same mesh occurs above the hole, that area remains opaque. I don't know if this has any bearing, but, I gave up on the morph and tried to animate the thing with out the morph. My column rendered as matt black instead of glossy blue in the animation even though the preview and any single rendered frame shows the correct material. Any thoughts?? -Scott
