This is really good info and I want more <g>. >> I believe it is a dongleless version of the 2.5 software, >> w/the modelling book Bill's working on when he gets it done. Ok, based on the "Partner Catalog" and 3D Artist (#20), I gather that there may be 3 versions of Real 3D. 1) Special Real 3D version for 3DS users (with flawless export to 3DS) (Partner Catalog) 2) Real 3D V2.5 (3D Artist) 3) Real 3D V3.0 (3D Artist) From your message, it is not quite clear which tranfer method you are using. Are you doing DXF transfers? Do all versions have 3DS export (as I understand the "special" version can do)? For me, a model with procedural texture applied would be the desired transfer product from Real 3D to 3DS via a .3DS type file. Basically I would like to make fairly silly looking characters who appear in somewhat serious "message" cartoons such as "Just how high is UP?"<g> Perhaps I should wait a little for Bill's book. When is it due? —— >> if you mean by texturing procedurals, no. Is that because it is not a true plug-in? Only a modeling tool? Or is that because you are not transferring via a .3DS file? I am stuck on this point, so forgive me asking repeatedly.
