Hi BsPnthr12, it might... however I don't know how to do it, at the moment... :-) but I have just discovered there was a free Video Texturing tutorial on 3D-Palace, and it seems to have a lot about shading in it... so I might know how to add some light to the black... when I have watched it thru.... I think it is Nirsul from the forum that has made it... it's called "Nir's Graffiti for Maya"... --> https://www.3d-palace.com/modules.php...orials&sortby= and Digital Tutors also seem to have a lot of great video tutorials about shading in their rendering section... --> *********************************/digita..._rendering.htm so it might turn black very soon... but I will work a bit more on the modelling part, before I will begin with the experiments with shading... regards Strarup
