Bill, i didn't know that Gelato supported NURBS. You really made my day by informing me of this, as i'd been looking for a NURBS alternative to McNeel's Flamingo engine ... If you ever write the 3DM importer, you got a friend for life (or until i forget who wrote it)... Now i'm off to assault my IT guru that built my home workstation with an ATI card (while he built my "twin" office workstation with NVIDIA)... ARRRGGGGHHHH....

EDIT... My office workstation has ATI. So i installed Gelato, and nothing happens. will have to try this at home, on the NVIDIA machine... Is Gelato only for use with Max & Maya? I want to use as a free-standing renderer, but i don't have either of those programs. If i have to use an OBJ importer, that means i will be importing mesh, not NURBS? Maybe Gelato can only read Max/Maya NURBS?... this morning is very bumpy so far :)
