>> I've been busy describing and pushing them to put in a feature for creating accurate wrapped image maps. <g> Looks like a utility to facilitate this will be implemented in 3.3. << Great! I'm having a problem with the mapping on my dragons head. I created the head in a half (as you know by the model I sent you), but the problem is I textured it in the half (before joining the two halves together). When I did join the two the bump map on the other side looks awful. I used a cylindrical map and I cant seem to figure out how the image was actually applied (where the top and bottom meet, Etc) I created a image that was half black and half red, but when I applied it as a color map using the exact same method I used for the bump map it was all black. what I want to do is split my image map in half and mirror it so it applies the same on both sides of the head. Do you have any ideas? BTW, I think I sent a similar message yesterday, but I can't remember (I was on about 2 1/2 hours sleep yesterday). This one probably explains it better anyways. -Sam J. Bowling
