Hey John, Thanks for your suggestions. I did exactly what you suggested, but (of course) it doesn't work. For on the thing, the front of the stereo is too big to get a detailed rendering of the labels, so I've had to render to seperate images (half of the front in each) to get the detail. For some reason, if I have the Alpha on, the bitmap doesn't show up. So I've clicked IGNORE ALPHA. Now I'm having to position each map precisely. Also, I haven't found the proper rendering size to get the detail I want, but all keep the integraty (sp?) of the spacing between each label. I'm sure I'll get it, but it's gonna take a lot of fiddling. Now, there's a good chance I'm missing something here – but I'm not sure what. I tried your suggestion first off and it was a complete failure. I may go back and give it another go (one thing I can think of it that I'm using a copy .3ds file of the stereo, except it doesn't have the labels – maybe I'll go back and use the original file with the labels, as you suggest, and just hide them). Thanks for the advice! James
