I believe you are talking about converting objects to area lights.  Vue has this ability.  Dream Lounge has a product like this, but it is just a flat square area light.

Sheesh, you got THAT right LordWexford!

Does P5 also recognize P4's lighting environments? Meaning, I own the UD lighting set, and I would hate to see that it doesn't work in P5.

Marco had the answer. Thanks marco. I use Maximum Pose to transfer my animations into MAX, so I had to pull the material from the model and go searching for the Wing Transparency, but once I clicked on 2 sided, all my problems went away!! Marco, you rule! Joe

This looks like it will work (Objaction Twoface). Just gonna be a LOT of work :-)

Thanks Spideyk21. I don't want to put anyone out though. Was just hopeing someone had already modeled it ;-)

Have you checked the file size of your project? I have found that one of the pictures I made, which seemed simple, ended up being 94 megs and doing the exact thing that yours seems to be doing.

Alleycat, if you make that tut, I will be the FIRST to read it!! That would be so cool!

I do believe that some "Omaha"ish pics might be making the scene ;-)

I still have the original packaging from...KPT Bryce!!! :-)

Wouldn't the model be a derivitive work? Under current copyright law, a derivitive work is fair game, no?

Do you think that you could provide a list of models that just won't reduce enough to be exported? I can't seem to export the animation to Bryce even as a Rough Draft (Horse animation at 48 frames for the gallop). It reduces almost 30%, but still tells me there are too many vetices for 3DS. Thanks :-)

Got it at 180k on my DSL connection. Now to look at it ;-)

How long did the renders take? Are you using an ubermachine or something along the lines of a PII 400 with 128 meg RAM? Inquiring minds want to know ;-)

Drax has a T-800 there.
