Hi Benno, I've played around creating 3D knobs using a combination of Povray, Perl and gimp-perl. Basically, you create a base file in povray, start gimp-perl server and then run the Perl script to create incremental images and convert them to whatever format you need. Some examples are here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~adamjking/images/knobs/knobs.htm The scripting is a quick and dirty hack, but it work for me. Cheers, Adam
