Pack, I will email you directly as well, but I'd like to post here first so others can share in the enthusiasm. I'd love to take a look at your script and put it in format. And I think that helping complete this project could be a perfect learning experience for all those that are basically tinkerers and want to get a bit more serious. I'm in the industry as a professional video editor (that's how I pay the bills) so I can assemble our renders as well as engineer audio and whatnot. As far as 3ds goes, I'll pick up whatever slack you have and learn along the way. I'm 150 pages into SAM's 24-HOUR book and I have access to 3ds 3.1 and 4 with a bunch of plugins. I'll fast-forward to learn a bit about texturing and lighting. If you need a texturer, then look no farther. So this is the battle-call, the gauntlet lies on the floor, thrown in challenge. Those that want to answer the call, you know what to do... Fredo
