Hi martian_ manhunter!

Glad I could help.  Although, the biggest help I recieved was from Dan Alban's book "Inside Lightwave".  I highly recommend it.

Now,  before I stray off topic, my point in these posts has been to show the power of Lightwave and why it is the industry standard for rendering.  After all,  in the final product,  no one sees the mesh, only the lights and textures. 

Cheers!
