Then I take my 3d board to find it. But I think this is different for each person. Maybe intresting for sience to make a study of it . But I also think many people are so used to the 2d boards they don't give a fair chance to the 3d boards. (Though it is treu that using the methode I mentioned a 45 degree camera on a 45 degree angle would be better. I don't know if it costs to much memory to use it in a program because the board comes against the fore ground. I made some scenes with this methode and it looks closer to the realety ) The other methode using the top vieuw is about the same as a 2d board. Fun part is that I in the past once said that in the future the strenght of the engine will be not as important as the looks. Because the real strenght diference (Not to confuse with computer vs computer results) would be not big enough. Marc
