Hi Phil,

i guess it is the same principle as it is for a flock of birds. Of course i never tried it with fishes (the smell, the smell...) but...

Ok, you start with a rough terrain. Give it a totally invisibvle material - that is best. If you need one, ask. I can send you one that works probably. Then add your fishes to the ecosystem that you then create on this terrain. and position the whole thing in your scene.

The good thing about that is that only the fishes are visible, the underlying terrain not. AND, the fishes will be on different levels and distances.

Best would be to use V6I - there you simply paint the fishes onto the terrain and then delete the terrain. Perfect.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.
