Gary, thanx much for looking at my file. I got it last saturday, but I have been very busy with another project, so I just looked at it yesterday. I downloaded your file and extracted ANIL.3DS from it. I then merged it into my file and told 3ds to select all objects. I then told it to delete old objects in both cases. These were "New Glass" and "newglass2". I also said yes when it asked me about replacing the materials. However, when I rendered it, there was not change. Did you perhaps send me the wrong version? Also, you noted that the cause of the problem was that I had used the same material on two different faces of the object. Actually I created two different objects and separately applied the same material to each (I had the manual, you see! ;)! So that was not the problem. Then in your file I checked the materials for each of the two objects in the file ANIL.3DS and they are different as you have made them – "glass (side)" and "glass (back)". So, I do have a file with two distinct materials applied to two distinct objects and still no dice! What gives? Anil
