Thanks for the pointers on family grouping! Yup - I understand objects (and transparency based clip masks!! - grin - (all my published image manip works are on renderotica)). No, I have not used the bucket fill to paint textures on yet. My image was literally textured with basic image textures added in either object cubic or parametric with rotation and scaling tweaks as needed. I have put a few things through UVMapper in the past to make templates (got the sails by the way - new, more correct texture soon!)

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
