Re: Vue Mac - yes, it's supposed to be officially announced at MWSF - but it's actually next week. I tried out the PC demo and it's really slick - I might just pre-order the Mac version now... :) I actually own Bryce 4 - never really figured it out. Hoping to sell it (locally) if I can. Re: Cards - that is pretty cool. There should be a new animation compo in a couple weeks too - would have to be pretty ambitious to enter the one going on now. Re: Worlds in Worlds The rules also allow you to use 3rd party textures and objects, so long as you credit the original author. Generally though, I think it's best to do your own original work if you're looking to win... (not that I know anything, I've never entered IRTC before) - n8
