Hi Jonas, Maybe you could drop an explanation in my e-mail too. When I saw R4 at SIGGRAPH in Orlando, the spline modeling interface was working just fine. It was extremely powerful and as good as any spline modeler that I have used from 3D Studio's competitors. I use to not recommend one 3D software as probably the only 3D software an aminator needs, but when I saw R4 with splines I changed my mind. But obviously it was too good to be true. I now have egg on my face for promoting the single most important modeling improvement to 3D Studio. I was also embarrassed to find out the single most important feature for me was missing in my update that I rushed out to recieved at the earliest possible date. Don't get me wrong because R4 has some other performance features in the other modules, but I could have clearly waited until after the Christmas season before picking up what have should have been called R3.5 at best. I will say congratulations on the IK stuff. Please let this be the last of the "now you see it, now you don't" mentality that got your competitors in trouble.
