<<I rendered frame 1 of the animation and then mapped that frame onto the screen of the monitor (yeah, it's a cliche, but it still looks kind of cool).>> Since you want the impression that it is a television screen, make the television screen material 100% self illuminated. <<But, no matter how I treat the bitmap that's mapped onto the monitor, there's still a little palette flash as the animation loops, so the effect doesn't quite work.>> Are you rendering to a flic? If, so then you're coming across the problem of creating a palette of 256 colours from an animation consisting of possibly thousands of different colours. You could try using a custom palette so that you don't get the "flash". DaviD "Flash, ah, ah, saviour of the universe!" GouID
