thank you both for the info, though the syncing thing still eludes me I'm sure I'll get it right in time, now I have a more interesting problem, for me anyways, I'm sort of branching out in my animations to cover the taur groups in sl, and I do mean the centaurs, the problem is that with only the mesh that sl provide making stuff for the four legged, and at some point no legged, bunch is a bit hit and miss as I have nothing to reffernce so I was wondering if there was a way to get a mesh from my SL inventory and us it as a prop
