Hi Glenn, Curiously enough, at least with Digital Arts we called it a "displacement map", which (get this) "perturbed the surface normals". As your aware the Yost has Displace and it seems that it would not be that difficult to reproduce with the same code. It would act like an AXP based on the contrast of the map, but the developer would need some kind of "materials" interface so that you could assign the material and give it "surface normal peturbation" values. Try saying that real fast 3 times. <g> John
