OK, just read the datasheet to Vue Pro. Textures are converted into (bitmapped) UV texture maps. You can chose the level of detail you need, and Vue will export the textures "with a minimum of distortion." But the wind looks nice. Might still consider getting Vue Pro. 93, -Sascha.rb P.S. be sure to download the demoreel from www.e-onsoftware.com. It's quite something. -.rb
