Well, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. They tend to be few and far between.

The OP sounded like they really did want various opinions as to how to proceed, and as one who owns both P8 and PP2010, I felt like my experiences might be worth something to them. But, I keep forgetting... since I don't model my own meshes and make shaders from scratch in the material room and do all the magic to make GC work, my opinion is worth nothing. Maybe I'll learn to shut the ____ up one of these days since I obviously know nothing.

And no, Jan... I'm not that kind of person. If I think I can help someone, I'll ALWAYS do it... just because it's the right thing to do.

Again, you are kind to offer comfort! :)
