Tartan, Thanks for all the info -- I appreciate your efforts! I can't remember the name of it, but I had a plugin like this for Ray Dream 4.0. It was tricky to use and tended to generate a lot of spikes in the mesh even with heavy applications of Gaussian Blur to the grayscal picture. I'll be interested seeing how this one works in your trials. I'll head on over to their website and check it out.... - Jim
