Thanks Gebe & Dale B, I seem to be getting the hang of this now - although I do have another question. When I creat an animation either in Vue - or imported from poser (mainly)when I play it back it isn't smooth & tends to jump! Is this something to do with the key frames? and if so is it easy to correct? In poser I am using a BHV file that I purchsed from Daz3d. Thanks again John
