Thanks. It's actually using mainly default parameters, as I just wanted
something I could design and render quickly.

I can't write an executable.. I wouldn't know where to start, but I would
*really* like one. At the moment my tutorial relies on using TextPipePro,
the evaluation version of which is due to expire any day now, and then I'll
be unable to continue (it's expensive!!).

It doesn't actually require Lightwave... just Lightwave format (or .dxf,
or.obj) meshes.. so any little modeler may suffice.

All the best,
