Cheers Andy, am really struggling with the interface, but the first thing I notice (apart from the lovely volume voxel shaded display in the viewport) is some really nice default procedural noise called 'alligator' in the 3Dturbulancenoise node what the heck is that - looks great though. The problem with seeing something cool is hard to resist having a go at recreating similar in Softimage with ICE - because we can. think this is what the Worley noise node was missing in ICE, some understanding (by me) of what it can achieve with just a little extra turbulence math. heres where I got to with it last in in Si ;) http://vimeo.com/40558378 best Rob
