I bought TSM last week, spent the weekend working through the tutorials and created my first scenery item .... a yard air tank.It's a lot of work to plan, model texture and proof this stuff. Fun though!This may be old to those of you who've been doing it for a couple of years, but do all objects made with Template-Sweep end up "inside out" (normals pointing in) and have to have the polygons switched to get the correct view? Or have I missed something?I've got the bug now to make a decent fuel rack with air tanks, sand tower, an ice machine etc etc.I need to do some cleanup and put this model on a hidden poly diet, but if there's interest I'll upload it.krswen

It always gets easier as you go. Don't get bogged down in a big project yet, do something simple like your own vehicle, or house, or something simple like that. Doing several simple projects will give you the skills to do the big projects with ease.Ted Curphey funnelfan@icehouse.net
