I'm not a purist either. Whatever achieves the finished effect I'm looking for is fine with me. It's the end result that counts, not necessarily the route I took to get there. It's the same as the argument that digital computer art isn't really art. In my opinion it's just another medium and just as much art as anything else. Same with the hair. I've superimposed trees onto a Terragen scene, too, and the effect turned out pretty well. As long as the finished project works, what's the difference how it was done? Melanie
