I owned the original Sims, and although I thought it was very original (and fun for a while), I always played it 'seriously', which makes it get very boring very quickly. If the Sims 2 has online play and more life paths to take, I might try it too. However, I think it's only the artists and modelers that can bridge any gap between gaming and rendering. I believe there was a old member here named Rhed who made some truly amazing skins for the original Unreal Tournament. Jim Burton and Anton also are involved in creating game content if memory serves too. I really doubt that there will ever be software that will fulfill what gamers need and what artists want, as each medium has different requirements. Helping artists learn what they need to enter the gaming world and showing gamers how much more they can create using advanced rendering software would be more helpful in my opinion. Thanks for the shots though, they look good. Take care. SnowS
