Hi Ron, When I imported the transponder into Blender there were 4 Empties , I thought they were left behind by mistake.... I 'll leave that alone :) I use Empties in Blender a lot for calculating animation offsets positions , etc and occasionally forget to delete them in the final file.... In PLIB the transponder is oriented strangely and Im suspecting the location of the material animation.... it works fine in OSG... Anyway , thanks for the reply , I'll try moving the material to the start of the file and see if that fixes it .
