Jack: Uh, isn't that what I said? <g> If not, that IS what I MEANT to say. I'm getting a handle on how the deformation/twist grid works. It took a bit of experimentation, but I've got a nice, fluid-looking "H" now. My next problem: the map. I created a small cel (black w/ white sprocket "hole"), with the intent of tiling it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to follow the film. I aligned the mapping icon with the film's starting face, and scaled it properly (I think). The first portion of the film renders the map properly, but once the film begins twisting about the mapping looses all relationship to the film. Can anyone explain to me how to make the map "stick" to the film as it winds around? Thanks, Jeff
