CompuServe Messages

Al…boy do I wish I hadn't shot my mouth off! "Impossible" was obviously the WRONG word to use, and got more of the usual "ah..your full of s_ _ _ messages"! Not believing the "world" is wrong and I'm right, I stand corrected with egg on my face. After sending you the last message, it occurred to me that the faces on said video's were, in fact, on curved surfaces as you stated, so that was a mute point. After "pushing" the send button though, one can't "unpush" it. I should tell you that when I first got into 3DS, this was one of the first things I tried to generate. Being a "babe in the woods" and not really knowing correct parameters to create such finishes, I turned to the forum. At that time, the reponses I received were on how to do a flat mirror. I know how to do a flat mirror. My questions were regarding the underlying material before enabling the flat mirror and never got a suitable response. This may have been due to lousy communication skills (3DS jargon) on my part. Perhaps this is where I got the impression that 3DS isn't quite capable of generating such surfaces. Naturally, I wasn't my intention to provide false info to anyone regarding 3DS. The good thing about about this forum is that there are more experienced people such as yourself to straighten my little a _ _ out. I guess that's the whole idea and thank God it exists. It's a wonderful world we live in, isn't it Al? BTW, not knowing the parameters for your project file, I didn't mean to imply that you didn't know what the hell you were doing. If that's the impression you got, my sincere apologies. I'm going to work on "something" to see if I can create some better base materials, etc., and if I can't get the "look" I need, perhaps you can take a look at my stuff also. Thanks for all your help…it's appreciated a whole lot! I wonder if the guy who ask the original question has been following our little conversation! See Ya…Kev.
