Hi Tomsde any idea where I can find this book you mentioned. I've taken Hardtwist's advice, there are lots of tutorials that have sort of helped. I bought the official blender manual when I first got the program, but that was no help at all. A good book written by a non-programmer is what's needed. Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't figure it out. kieraw; don't forget Wings, Nendo, and anim8or, all will do what you want for free. regards peejay
