Hey thanks Rich--- I'm looking forward to seeing how this one "behaves", and I'll probably use it more too. I have since had the "extra, unexplained polygon" thing happen many more times, to the point of being fairly predictable. Rod and Tube does a teriffic "capped extrude" function, something I've never seen in any of the free programs I know of. You are well on your way towards bigger and better things, you know, and you're really starting to make me want to look into Hyper Studio some more. :) I'm gonna download this thing and play with it right now, and I hope I can have something to show with it soon. Cheers, and THANKS! Mike

Yes Rich, thanks again. Here's my first thing I made with it and rendered in Vue-- (Of course!) This is my first attempt at making this pic I would like to do, and the "star" was made with the new Rod and Tube Factory, and has Vue procedural materials applied to it. No post work on this,but I imagine that with Painter I could get it to look a little more like what I want. Certainly not R&T's fault, but seemingly my inability to get Vue to make those soft edges I would like the star to have. Looking forward to Vue 4! Cheers, Mike

Very cool, Mike. I'd say that was an alien summer pic! Isn't Shapemaker fun? :)
