Thak you! I had a whole differnt set up in my head from your description. I'm glad I asked about a screenshot.  I plan on doing some flag renders for my Aussie friends in my MSN graphic group, so the tip on the shader is a good one. Thanks for that and the great flags.

I want to try and make a texture for the Canadian flag. Can I holler at you if I can't get it done myself?  LOL

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
