Elliot, I know what is happening, but first a question… Are your image sequences named the same in LightWave, but use different letters capitalized in the file name for the different objects? The trick is that AmigaDos treats files named this way (eg. Fire.001 and fiRe.001 as the same file (which they are), but LW treats them as two separate image sequences. Remember that since offset information is saved in the object file, you must save all of the different objects using the same sequence….In order for this to work, you must have a different surface name for each object using the appropriate sequence (Fire or fiRe) and each object must be saved with a different name LightWave always uses the values for the last surface loaded (if the same surface name but different settings from previous incarnations) which would include the offset data. If all of this is kosher, I would bet that the conversion of the sequences to ScreamerNet names is coming out the same on the ScreamerNet side…. Let me know which it is. Also, do you mind if I use this in a column some day? JG
