I D/L ant (3ds) & ant2 (3ds) that I can convert and email you if you can't do the ant.dxf.exe file.

I did a sort of ant a while back that may be useful, let me know if you want a copy. ---------------------------------- Date: Sun, 4 Jan 1998 23:35:00 +0000 From: Andy Stevens Not exactly an ant, but it may give you some other ideas... 3D Artist issue #27 had an article (a Ray Dream Studio how-to, actually) by John Crane featuring what can probably best be described as a the results of mating an ant with a JCB digger (or other heavy plant machinery). It was titled "Ant Acid", and won Fractal's "Characters of Your Imagination" competition. The URL http://www.sandstudios.com/ was mentioned, but I don't know if they've got any pictures of it on there (not got time to check at the moment). Andy.
