That sounds great if you wanted to do that. I would be more than happy to
help you along the way.

I don't have any tutorials on how to use it, I just kow how it works on the
inside :)  I beleive Richard did some work on some tutorials at some stage.
Do you have an update on that richard?  But if you have any quieries on hwo
to do things, I'd be more than happy to help out. I'll probably form the
Questions and answers into a readme or faq of some sort.

Its definately on my (our) want list, but it is just one of many things
noone has got around to yet. I'd love to be able to whack in whatever
renderer at run time. Renderman, lightflowtech, povray, whatever. It would
just be nice.

Not dumb at all, because it is not exactly intuitive.

If you right click on the view name, such as 'Persepctive', it will give you
a whole host of options. Pick flat shaded, or smooth shaded to get a purty
little solid.
