Thanks for all the ideas… I was able to figure out something similar to what you suggested… I used the OBJECT and SELECTION function which spread out my clones in a spedific area along the inside of the cyclinder.
However, I had to increase the number of clones enormously just to get a few to show up.
i.e. I had 1600 clones, but only about 100 actually showed up. To get the number I needed grouped tightly together was too much for my poor G5 to handle (unless I did something wrong… which is likely)
Anyway, the experimenting continues… And the deadline looms
Thanks all
