Thanks for the reply Mike… I did use a standard white background… Using it as an Image map, I even tried changing the percentages from 5 to 50 and then 100… It still seems to block the seg colors… Of course I only know this from the Quick render, I did not try to long render it using the Render Module… Does this matter?… (Even a Quick Render take approx. 40 minutes on a 486/66 VLB with 8Meg… So I'm wary at this point to take it over to full-render…. <G>) If I was to buy one of the packages you described in your post, which would you recommend (I'm interested in features versus price…) and about how much are we talking…? I've realized through the posts here that I will have to buy a photo styling package to create some of the things I want… Any/all suggestions would be appreciated… Christopher Hoffman "We need a 4D animation package, One that finishes rendering before you create any models…" ;>
