>> Thanks Dave. In fact I got answers from both HSC and Autodesk, by phone, to say that it can only be done manually. << okay. <whew… thought i was missing something pretty powerful otherwise> >> The idea is that I would change some of the parameters in Gradient Designer over a sequence of frames (e.g. use a circular gradient pattern to resemble a glow, and move the position of the glow, or rotate a linear pattern, or alter a blur setting …). It's not an original idea – it's already incorporated into the KPT version for 3D Studio. I just thought it would be nice to be able to do it with the 2D allpication also. << hm…. idea… create new frame, paint glow, capture, paint over time, use as clone ink with image… think there's a way to do this. always love a challenge. 😉 >> I didn't get the impression that anyone was going to stay back late to include it in the next release! << <g> probably not… but someone might stay up late developing a technique. it is a cool idea. -dave
