Glad I'm not alone! I was beginning to feel like a freak! Just one point about my interface. The 2 blank spaces (under the cameras and under the parameter dials) are there to accomodate the hierarchy window and the joint parameter window. I don't like them in my face all the time, but I do like to have space for them when I use them. Which is very often. And they fir perfectly into those spaces. >sigh< One of these days I'll get myself a huge monitor.... mac
