Thanks for the feedback . . . I started using the incorporation feature during network rendering -- it seems to speed things up quite a bit since Vue does not have to collect textures before sending them to the other computers. It also eliminated some problems I was having with transparencies getting reversed on the network machine. As for the rest, I ran out of time and I am now piecing this together in Photoshop with parts rendered in different applications. Thank you all for your help, maybe I can attack this again on my next print project. R.
