@Jaimi, you're welcome and there is more to come.

@StigDesign Thanks for buying my book! Yes I used Max 8 when I was writing the book, and personally I would do it exactly the same whether I was using Max 7, 8, or 9; none of the core features of Max have really changed.

For anyone who may be interested in a book on how to create and implement game art for the Torque engine, here is a link to more info:
