Hi, Carrara requires bitmaps on objects for shading. The plug-in VectorStyle will not export a bitmap shader as a vector shape either. One option might be to use the "Toon" render function and export a .gif. And import it into Flash. Because of the 'flat' colors, the files are small. Above is a .gif created with Toon that could be imported into Flash. Another option, but not as desirable, is to do a frame by frame conversion with Adobe Illustrators' Auto-Trace function or another older product of theirs, Streamline. Good luck! Mark Mark
