Cool-O on your conversion success! Oddly enough that's kinda how I got into my current position. I used to be a coder but played with 3D work on the side and advised grad students and professors at work from time to time, doing the odd model here and there. Eventually our director asked if I'd do that sort of thing full-time. So I am. :) -Gary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
