Oh Diane, thank you. I did not know you were an admirer of that image. It one that get got me artist of the month. This are all hobby to me too. Anyway, if you have the extra, go get Vue3. I am also anticipating Terragen V1.0 As texturing, its the most important to me beside MT and the accuracy of a model. No matter how good the MTs are or how good the model in realism, without certain degree of realism for texture, the image of it won't be convincing enough. That's how I got started and get the kick out of it...texture first :) Bill
