Hi Michael,

Thanks for that reply, for this experiment I was simply using the files Matt supplied, I haven't got MOI on my machine, is beta V3 available as trial version? Anyhow you are right the text looks pretty good, but you know what it's like when your trying different things out it's always great if you can get a robust mesh with all polys and verts joined, by going to sub-ds in modo you can add more mesh detail which is great for sculpting and displacement if you want to work the text or any object further done the line, great on close ups etc.

Michael if V3 isn't trial would it be a problem to supply a "&" as a text object in LWO format so I can have a play in modo with it...and push it up here for download...
