James, << (DOS = 12 minutes 56 seconds, Windows = 11 minutes 14 seconds) which makes me wonder why no-one boasts rendering time through Windows. With a 300 frame animation this could save 10 hours. Seems like everyone would want to render through Windows, or even OS/2 if this is faster. Anybody?>> The reason I wouldn't want to run 3ds under win or a os/2 configuration is that half or even some of the memory is set aside for the GUI. Even with a ton of memory I don't like to give any memory away when 3DS is in action. Sure it is nice to switch back to your photo editors and illustration pkg. but maybe someone will write a "Plug-in" for 3DS the combines bitmap and lineart in a single module sorta like HiresQFX. Kurt
