Hi John, Orion's already explained most of how I work as well: L3P the .mpd with LGEO and mesh-enhance it. (I never just run the whole file through the enhancer, just certain parts here and there.) Add in radiosity and the lugnet colors. (I'm using (...) (19 years ago, 26-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)
