>> Let's just say that the procedure for ordering software changed… << Well you know I was kidding you… right? <g> So did you have to do a song and dance and make the gal in accounting laugh before you got your P.O.? 🙂 >> If it's just a utility program, then we need more utility programs :^) Here! here! I think they're percieved as not being so glamourous, so aren't hardly worth mentioning, but invariably those are the ones I use _all_ the time. The tools of the trade, as it were. <BG> Glad you feel the same. I think you can tell the modelers in the group. 🙂 I've been playing with the triceratops on the R3 CD. I'd like to figure out if there's a way to use bones to open and close the mouth. Muscles seem like a piece of cake. I just used a small box in between the joints and scaled it larger. The beauty of this program is its simplicity of design. No wild colored interface just a nice clean functional layout. My only initial wish for this product was that when you ran the preview, you could save the resulting flic (being able to specify a resolution would be nice as well) or replay the wireframe from memory, without having to re-render. Hopefully just an oversight. It just isn't fast enough to get any real sense of what's happening, and this is one module you could stay in until the job is done. <g> Michelle did a nice job on the instruction manual as well. Makes it look easy and not overly complicated. She gets right to it, in a clear concise fashion. John
