Curt, I'm not siginificantly familiar with the 3ds format-- it might be possible to directly edit the material settings and augment ambient values, etc. Someone else may be able to answer that. Is conversion to another format like .ac an option? If so and the models are not terribly complex, I would be happy to attempt the conversion for you. I deal with this sort of thing frequently at work, so it's probably not a big deal. If interested, feel free to send me the models and I'll give it a shot. -Gary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
