Here we go: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ePortrait.html So what I'm doing in the layout is. I convert a 3D unit model into a 2D circluar version. After that I use SetTexCoord to get a square version again. Still some minor issues but the general stuff is in place to grab some ideas. I think the dropshadow function I build is pretty near aswell. When using preset textures from a media folder stuff gets alot easier though because you can make that texture your statusbar texture.

Thanks Zork for the beautiful codes. But I wonder if we could use portrait Override function to handle the portrait conversions.

	--portrait
	local portrait = self:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
	portrait:SetSize(64, 64 )
	portrait:SetAllPoints(self)
	portrait.Override = UpdatePortrait
	self.Portrait = portrait

local function UpdatePortrait(self, event, unit)
   here we slide and dice then return the new portrait
end

Will that work? Gonna try it out when I get home tonite.
