Well, those are good news. You got the credit (from me, at least).

Are you talking 'bout textures in OpenGL, or maybe UV-mapping
representation, or... ? (sorry, I couldn't resist asking).
Well Lutz, we will continue waiting to see the results of your efforts (and
praying for the next beta (12) to solve the problems with bicubic patches,
cameras...) .
Bye.

Have you tried making a single scale and using the duplicate as 
references option in Moray to make the other scales?

Just a thought as I don't know how feasible that would be for your 
current setup.

Bye for now,

Jamie,
The snake is constructed of rings made up of about 15 scales each, the first
one being a regular object and the other 14 being reference objects. I don't
know if there is a way to make them ALL reference objects or not, but it may
be worth looking into.
