"PS, Soulhuntre in the course of going back and forth with these post and rereading the various comments made, it seems almost as if I purposely ignored your remarks. This was not my intent, and no oversight was meant. I thought I would mention it as I want you and everyone else to know just how much I appreciate every one of you who took the time to reply to this thread. Also, I went and looked at your GI test. That is exactly the sort of thing in the way of Art I marvel at. It is a fairly simple scene, and yet it is so powerful and seems to take on a meaning all it's own, just from the way you have it lit and composed. That is the sort of thing I crave to learn. Well, I can't say that folks haven't pointed me in the right direction. Now it is just up to me to apply myself and learn. :o)"

No problem. I didn't take any offense at all - I know how discussions go and sometimes a comment isn't focused on - that doesn;t mean it isn't appreciated...

Hmm. That might apply more than the rest of my responses :)

Seriously - I know what you mean. There is a lot of art out there that I like... but I will never do that. I am not an artist, I haven't ever been and I don't think I ever will be - at least not in this area. My are is all in code I think.

I am just a guy with a lot of images in my head - things I want to see and things I want to build. But I need to be able to explore them, animate them... interact them with each other. In other words - I need a virtual space.

That means I need to know how to do this, in 2-D in the machine... post work won't help me :)
