Rick, speaking of reaching memory limitations, I have just run into the old problem of having objects missing from ray trace renders, the way it happened with Turbo Silver. The object setup was filling an area just approaching – and + 600 on the X axis, so I put in a size line in the globals increasing the universe to 2048. When I did the traces, the man, his desk and chair were all gone from the scene. Subsequently, I shrunk the ground axis so it would fit into + and – 512, and then removed the global size line. The image then rendered fine. Something tells me that the same bug that plagued Turbo and its world sizes is back again… What do you think? BTW, when the world size is set in globals to 2048, does that effectively mean "up to 2048 on all axes", or does it mean "up to 1024 on all axes", for a cubed area of 2048? Thanks! Scott
