No problem, Chrisdmd. Had me confused there for a minute. :) Yeah, the dongle (and all of that registration to go with it) is a pain in the a**. The LightWave interface is a little stiff, but it isn't too difficult to understand and get used to. My problem is now that I'm hooked into C4D, I haven't been able to find the time to really get to know LightWave. What I have done, has been really excellent, though. It can get confusing when switching back and forth between 3 or 4 3D applications. :)
