zorares, With all the software you mentioned you use, you should be able to do some great things right now. If you can swing the Bryce 5 upgrade do it! It sounds like you should be able to make impossible believable with what you have. Pssst...... Don't ever let your wife know how much you spent on all your software, she'd kill you! If you do get Bryce 5, you will enjoy it and appreciate it's new features. Good luck, kaom
