Well, thank you very much for the compliment Michael. I appreciate it a lot. As far as skin goes. I got a nice fairly hard edged box assigning skin with spline tension at 100 and smoothness at 50. I believe I left everything else as is. If you want a perfectly hard edged box you can set smoothness to 100 but it takes much longer to render. Mapping it is another story. I myself have not tried to really put a label on a box but it can be done. I did some experimenting tonight and got pretty close. I need to re-read the docs. Basically, though for a box you need to figure out the perimeter and make the map approx. 1:1. I'm going to do some more tests tomorrow night and see what I can come up with. BTW, after I sliced it the map was exactly the same, just as it should be. Made me happy. Anyway, keep me posted. Hope things are going good with Rayman. Dave Mennenoh
