(grins at Everyone!) I guess my ebot lost this one, I had no idea so many people were responding...! All of these are great suggestions. I have been to DigitalBabes, and found nothing remotely Mikey-like. But since I'd already started modeling hair in Rhino, I just stopped looking... I won $10 from a little in-thread contest a few days back, I think I'm gonna go for PJF's idea. (by the way, PJF, it's good to see your name in here these days!) And Alvin, I don't mind at all... I needed help, and thank you for your idea, I agree completely... Only problem with enabling SS on the volume light is that it kills the volumetrics, completely. I DO like the idea of him not moping, but hoping... Can anyone tell I'm feeling isolated and lonely, these days? Thanks for all your support and help and ideas, my friends. Makes me feel good...
