Hi. Thanks for the replies, Anton. I am a great admirer of your work. Batty, as to the credit for the meshes, the only reason that I have left it off in the first place is because of the bastardized way in which I have to convert them. I also Truthfully, the meshes are so manipulated and so polyed-down that, were I an artist, I wouldn't want that claim. However, when I stated that anyone who resubmitted my files had to include a readme, it is because that readme contains credit to artists that I have used, particularly for that original series. I was always adamant that this remained with those files, because I knew that the links may be lost, but I could enforce that. I have never made any bones about those meshes which I convert, and those which are originals in my dialouges, or in the forums. However, that isn't enough. I have not been giving the proper credit where it is due. It wasn't to claim credit for myself; I was the first to do the process of conversion, but that is where my initial innovation left off. I want to, and need to, do more. So, I am going back to the original series and thereafter, and will have updated links and credit lines with those files that have been converted from a pre-existing geometry. I will also pass this on to a few of my meshy-convertin' cronies that are doing the same types of things. I hope that, and the knowledge that we fully support their work with our finances, satisfies those artists affected. Thanks again to all. Fionn
