<<What I need is an easy way to create a billion frames of bogus text… changing numbers (frame count or similar?)>> For your scrolling numbers, go into Photoshop create an tall thin image with alpha. Fill it with the text you want. You can get your dog or cat to walk over the keyboard for about 15 minutes to the random text you need. In 3DS create a long flat rectangle then apply the texture map tiled alot vertically onto the long rectangle. Attach this to the camera and have it move upward over the animation to give a scrolling effect without any hassle. You'll notice that although the readout in Terminator appears really random it is in fact very carefully designed. Something that isn't as easy as it appears. Good luck! DaviD "beeep, ziiip, boing!"
