I have a .gif image of some mountains in the distance. I also have an object that I want to place in between those mountains, animate it to move around the mountains and come up to full screen. I get the animation part, but how can I put that object into the .gif from just 3dStudio? Do I need Photoshop or some other type of program to accomplish this feat? In broadcast, they call this keying. This is sort of what I want to do, but I need to make the object appear behind a range of hills and then in front of it, and I don't kow if keying will work in this manner. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm using rel 2 and waiting for rel 4 to arrive. mdawson
