Thanks Eric!! I started on friday to get into Max Creation Graph until I found out the hard way that they don't have a undo implemented yet http://3dsmaxfeedback.autodesk.com/forums/80695-general-feature-requests/suggestions/7734021-enable-undo-and-redo-in-mcg (accidentally deleting the wrong nodes pretty much killed it for me). The sample scenes you sent to me got me pretty far today, and it's probably just a matter of knowing all the node names to get really comfortable... cheers, Thomas
