I had one other question as well. The supplemental manual includes "self illumination" as one of the material attributes which the color preview recognizes. The scene with the morphs also contains objects which are all self illuminated. When I go into the color previewer all I get is one beautiful shade of black. Guess I picked a good one. Is "self illumination" also not supported in the color previewer? Guess I won't be using the previewer much. Oh, and what about the 8-bit graphics mode requirement? I have at least one IPAS that runs in a 24-bit main-display, but I can't use it if the display is set to 8-bit to accomodate the color previewer. I suppose I can just run it from the Materials Editor only, but jeezz. What the hell is happening? -Jeff
