Christopher, When you use the term "Quick Render" I assume that you mean the shading done in the DECAL module. If that is the case, it has been my experience that what you see in DECAL is not always what appears in an actual rendeing. I usually do a 320 x 200 render with no Photo or Antitalias and only one light. This gives me a good view of how my maps are working. I'm currently working on a short animation that employs some creative use of DECAL, SCULPTURE and DIRECTION. I have found a way to create an effect that I mentioned some time ago in a wish list that I would like to see. I did a very simple test animation, and it came it perfect. When its finished, it will be uploaded to the Hash support area on America Online. I'll let you know when its available. Michael S. Flynn
