... ahhh, yes... a lil outside of the box thinking
now why didn't i come up with an idea like that...
lemme take a look see at whether or not that'll give me something close to what i'm looking for...
i mean, i've got pipes and wals segments and other objects that i'd like to cast shadows and all... but not 100% necessary, if i can get a reasonably realistic scene worked up...
thx Matt...
