To Brent: First, the rings got to form a REGULAR pattern . If you look well, you'll see that i've begun with a group of 7 rings that was duplicated regularly to form a web, using collision detection and the "shift" constraint . Then, before render, i've aligned the isometric camera to the shape of the web . This is the tricky part : the angle of the cam must follow the regularity or the pattern . You got to be precise when duplicating the rings and when placing the cam (see the image) . I hope that helps ! By the way, how's your earth anim going ? My parents tell me that a chainmail is not made of rings, it's in fact a knitting of metallic thread . So what could that texture be ??? I gotta give it a name ! My mother works in a jewelry factory, and she saw necklaces made like that . Hopefully she'll find the word for it ... And believe me, if there is such a word, I WILL FIND IT !!! Words really bother me sometimes (remember the "quiproquo" thing on e-groups ?) LES MOTS, C'EST DE LA MERDE !!! litst alone against the word ;)
