Spinner - downloaded deep paint - will review it later. Anim8tor doesn't have shaders per se,just standard texture and lighting options (uses an inbuilt UV MAPPING OPTION). I think Rosenman's filters might be my best bet. Haven't tried Infranview yet - always assumed that it was just a batch converter / viewer when I saw it listed on the freeware sites, I'll snag it and have a look see.
