Okay... about the open source idea: Choose one, and choose carefully. Or write one, and write it even more carefully. Otherwise you could end up losing control of the thing entirely (ex. The BSD inetd coders had pretty much gave Microsoft an entire TCP/IP networking stack for 2000/XP/2003, which is now pretty much proprietary MS property as currently used within Windows.) One other thing to consider... have you run this past one of the legal types on staff in Orem yet? I mean, if enough of these meshes match perfectly w/ meshes that Zygote sold/granted rights to when DAZ spun off, there is the possibility of some legal nastiness there. Not saying there's anything actionable, let's be clear about that - but a little legal checking/CYA could go a long way to prevent future hose-ups. Once all that's done, I'll look forward to adding goodies to my Runtime. To all the other folks: As for forming a group to determine rigging and UV Maps and such? Well, y'all know what a hippo is, right? It's a greyhound built by committee. Ynsaen is right - let the market find the best solution. :) /P
