Wow, Thank you all very much for the kind words and for the great information. I can see that this forum is one that is willing to bend over backwords for its friends and newcomers alike! One question please, since the book you recommend is for Bryce 4.0, will its concepts, screens and toolbars be mainly the same? The book does have some great reviews on it so it must be good if you all are recommending it. I will look into the tutorials also. I would love to get my feet wet and they seem to be the way to go. Once again thank you all for the welcome and the great information. Thorrax
