(from Francemi) The only fix I was hoping and waiting for is the one that would make transparent or semi-transparent objects show up in the document window when I select Texture Shade but it is not there. I still have to use Cartoon with outline. ;o( ***** Francemi, have you tried opening the Render Settings and, in the Preview tab, selecting the "Limit To" radio button and entering a very low value, like 10% or less? That should make all the transparent objects show up in Texture Shaded preview mode. Not strictly speaking an update or bug-fix, just a scantily-documented feature... --BG63
