Patrick, Okay, in MY opinion, a spaceship is not a "beautifully rendered image", but then I am "just a girl" and I have my prejudices. When I get the chance I'm gonna ray trace some nudes or something, heh heh. (Hope that wasn't too heavy for the forum) –Mimi Ok, now its my turn: what I am doing is just playing around. I have a few Science Fictional starships lying around, and I wanted to see how easy it was to use Sculpt-3D to render objects from a set of drawings. When we get Animate-3D, I will probably do something with a docking sequence. My general feeling is that Sculpt is more than adequate for the task; although a few more features would be nice (a grid and a gridsnap option, a better group option to "connect" physically unconnected items into one object).

Sounds like you need Sculpt Animate. It has hierarchical grouping. Sculpt Animate 4D, yet to ship, has gridsnap. Have you built many 3D objects?

Instead of letting you place a point anywhere in space, it only lets you create points on regular intervals, imagine only laying down points on one-inch intervals. It lets you make square things much faster.
