Hi dlk30341, 1. No, you can only do backdrops - but they can be animated. The best you can do go to the Interactive Render Settings and choose to light your scene with the scene lights option. At least you'll get a good approximation of lighting. 2. No - only with Carrara native trees. A little texture editing will create Xfrog-ish trees though. You can even use the Xfrog texture maps if you like. 3. Just option/alt drag the texture map from the color channel into the bump channel. (this will copy it) You can also select the color channel, copy it, and then paste it into the bump channel also. Mark
