>> Still, though, I can't think of ANY effect that would REQUIRE VARY.SXP. Can you? << >>>Of course I can. Yes, you can use animated mapping instead but the speed and flexibility that vary.sxp allows makes it invaluable especially as you can't morph materials on <<< Thanks for this tip on using VARY with AXPS. My BBS gives subscribers a copyrighted program called SVARY (super VARY) that has 10 slots for color, with adjustable hold and transition times. When people ask why VARY is useful, I tell them that morph materials requires a copy of the mesh for each changed material. Plus, material change keys may not all fall at the same point. Also, with VARY in a material, face subsets can change material within an object quite easily. I use VARY (actually SuperVary) a lot! Jim
