The world's not so bad after all, I suppose, when nice things like this can happen. :) Enjoy Bobby!

This is especially nice as I'd saved for an upgrade only to have the money sucked up by a dead furnace at the start of the cold here...700 bux but I'm warm and now from the inside out as well.

Dunno if it's just my excited state but this full version seems to render the same scene faster than the fre and at 4 times the size an higher AA...happy I am so far
Screwing up the courage for an animation test...gotta read the docs...there are docs right? hee hee hee

Oooh moving things! I still wonder how that all works.

Yep, there are docs (some of it says TG2 but they apply to TG3, we just haven't changed the naming due to path issues in the wiki which we're working on).

Yep, it's very similar, by design. And quite simple.

Thanks mhaze and Dune...gotta love yer roots and Amiga folk are amongst the best to have at your start point I guess. Amiga was my 'gateway" drug to confusers....started on an A1000 and lasted till pc got video cards. I have my suspicions who the 'secret santa' was but am respecting their privacy by keeping that to myself.

Ain't it just...if this keeps happening I'm gonna recommend retirement early to folks, heh heh heh. Kind of a karmic payback for the 700 bux I had to drop into my furnace to get it to last till I can get a new one. Very important up here...without heat yer dead....
