You're welcome Tim and yes even Bryce has these problems but not to the same extent. Bryce uses almost pure fractal procedurals and in Vue you have to change them to fractal yourself. This is one of the reasons why seasoned Bryce users think Vue renders so fast - the non-fractal textures are fast - and VERY noisy ; ) Yes the export should take care of everything. Just set the exported models to a really lo-res (since all you want is the textures) and crank up the texture resolution - then just map the textures and you're in business. Texture maps don't sizzle and that is also the reason Poser never sizzles. Poser4 only uses texture maps. The other reason you don't see Bryce flicker listed much is that VERY FEW people actually animate in Bryce. I have used it since 1.0 and although I love it for stills, the camera movements are jerky as hell and until b5 it always crashed when you animated in it. Good luck with the de-sizzling! Scott
