Good points, Crescent. And in the belief that all good threads must come to an end, this is my last post to this one, I promise. But I thought I would point out that comments # This is a comment can be added to .obj files. Modelers and artists may find this helpful. It obviously is a burden, as libraries grow and file systems get rearranged, to keep READ_MEs with their respective models. So if modelers got in the habit of adding a simple comment near the beginning of their .obj file, and artists got in the habit of reading them (wordpad will do) then no one would be in the awkward position of wondering if they could use it or who they had gotten it from when they went to do a project. And I believe text can be placed in any spare white space in a texture map to the same effect (am I right here? I'm not a texture mapper). Worth considering? jon
