Thanks for looking ereitz and Raull. In reference to your question ereitz, I decided not to use image planes because they were slowing down my system, and from a post by Kevin in responce to another's question on the subject. Here is what he said: ******************************************* "if you are using the standard "image plane " then dont, its a system hog! make your self a plane of the image size.. add a material / then assign your image to the material this way is better.. I never use the image plane." ******************************************* It has added speed to my scene so I like it. Do you know of any benefits the image planes have over using poly planes? Thanks.
