I would suggest it you can - scale - and then freeze scaling - it also does not like funny settings in scale!

Maybe all objects need to be scaled down. I might just bight the bullet though it's going to take a while to sort out.

Not sure of this threshold, but I must say Softimage does not like stuff too far away!

But I'm having real problems with bumpmaps being generated on that object (using cell scalar nodes). Everything was fine, then I added an icosohedron scaled to surround everything, and my bumpmaps have gone very strange. I've tried freezing scale, different types of textures for the bump input, but it all ends up going weird. Is there anything obvious about scene size (distance from origin) and bumpmaps I need to know? Thanks Chris
