ArtyMotion, 29 minutes? I bet there's an "Evelyn Wood Speed Drawing" course out there that teaches people how to set up and render a 3D scene inside a half hour (not including postwork)... all he has to do is find it. ;^) I remember the walk-through for building a castle inside a fishbowl which was in the manual for RayDream. It only took about 4 hours to cover the basics, but at the end I figured that I could do what I needed to do with the program and then hit all the needed chapters. I had a deadline, and learning a 3D program well enough to meet it, within a week, was some sort of miracle. I'd never have expected to learn it inside a half hour! Carolly
