SamTherapy and gwhicks! Thanks for your replies. I forgot to tell you I'm still on P 4.03 here so I can't resort to P5 or P6 related solutions. Sorry - my bad ! gwhicks - the tutorial you pointed at uses 3ds max. That's quite ok since I'm using Max 5.1 for most of my work. I'll check that one out and see if I can make use of it. Thanks guys(?) ! -- Bakkti -- www.jiger.org
