Ya know, if you can't cope with those big files, you can always give me your copy
of Rhino<G>

Actually, I think there are several interfaces for use with BMRT- do a look
through the website(www.bmrt.org), and you ought to find something. The worst
part of BMRT is the need for shaders, which is what turned me off- and the
rendering times! Its REALLY slow.
Heres an interface:

and I think this is a shader helper:

Hope that helps.
