Thanks Andreas, I forgot about affogato. Probably much more trouble that I can spare at the moment anyway, and I can use Maya to render ... the new RIS mode is useful and a nice addition, got a couple of crashes from Maya .... as usual.
Having Mental Ray, Renderman and 3Delight for rendering is quite a selection at the moment.
