Did someone mention my name? I haven't posted anything lately, but I do check the forum most days to see what's going on. I was so impressed by WillF's plant models in last month's contest that I decided to try it myself (with the help of WillF's tutorial, of course). **Pitiful *hyoooomans* - I feed on your brains!** Above is a work in progress which may end up as part of my entry for this month's contest. Regarding the jump to Carrara, I'll probably take the plunge early next year after I replace my system (The old P150 just isn't fast enough for Carrara). I think what I'm looking forward to the most is the ability to create curved motion paths easily. Now back to the landscaping... Jim Z. a.k.a. Julian Boolean
