Yes, sometimes the best answers are given as solutions. Some questions don't have answers, since the questions are often flawed to begin with. Your solution sounds great. I try to remind myself - don't always ask, tell people What I am trying to do, and then they can help, and aren't limited to my uneducated questions. Thanks. Don't you love the replicator? by the way, do you use Vue? I am finding (aside from not being able to adjust the trees) the replicator is full of uses. MarkB. posted a fur solution using a texture map and simple slice to add fur to a pawn...wow! I wish someone would come up with an extension to allow animated figures - say from Poser, to run ON a surface, like is possible in Vue - just for that reason, I'm thinking about Vue. Even though I would rarely have a need for that effect - I just think it is so cool. I'll try the glow thing.

Never Give Up!
