Good to see that this is getting organized. I think you're right about not seeing the inverse kinematics until r4.0, or so. I don't think that it's possible to use IPAS on anything after it's in the keyframer. I mean, what kind of XP would it be? P, A? I can't see how it could be done with an AXP. You'd need to write a custom one for each specific operation you'd want to do; couldn't have just a general program that would work in every case. About the shaped lights, how exactly is this accomplished? How would I go about making a cylindrical light bulb, like those long fluorescent bulbs. The shadow it casts should be rectangular. I have never figured out a way to do this, other than lining up a series of spotlights together. (Maybe this can be done with GLOW.IXP???) Aaron
