SSweet -

Thanks, I checked that out - but didn't even need it, your backgrounds worked fine for me "as adveritsed".  Nice work, will be great for some fantasy type scenes.

Richard,

I followed your instructions re Nerd 3D's stuff, but there are only png files showing up in my runtime - they load in the above method, but are only thumbnail resolution.  So I searched through windows and found files with a MT5 extension ... They don't work.  I googled it and apparently it is some sort of poser file - It says you can simply rename the file to PZ2 to use in poser, but guess what, that don't work either.  Studio is looking for an image file (jpg or something).  I also tried simply renaming one of them to a JPG, and of course that didn't work either.  Any other ideas?  Or do I just need to delete this stuff out of my runtime?

edited to add:  There are also some .DS files in the same folder corresponding to all the png files....
