    Drifter, try saving it to disc first, and then try opening it. I think the error message is from your own hard drive.

    Well, thanks for the tip. Saving it to desktop then opening it worked - no idea why though.
    That crown file is amazing! All those little parts making up the whole - and all in place. Did you just get it that way by trial and error or is there some mathematical genius behind all of this?

    Drifter, the crown is a lot less complex than at first sight. It is simply a handful of thin rings arranged in a pile. The lower part is a complete ring, the middle parts are clones of the complete ring, with symmetrical sections removed, and the gems are pixel-sized points set on the rim of the original ring. Each ring is raised or lowered using ripple animation along the z-axis.

    You can see this most easily by loading up the Crown.x3d file and with no cursor enabled, just set the extrusion to 1, and the bevels to none.
