I haven't had occasion to use decals yet, but the few times I have tried it, I haven't been able to make it work. Example: I created a decal image in Animator Pro. with a black border so that pixel at 0,0 is black and saved it as a cel file making sure that I leave a black border around the image. I create a bottle object I applied Green Glass material to the object In the materials editor I assign the map to Texture 1, CLick on 'S' to get mapping parameters, then click on the Decal button. I save the material. Going back to the 3D editor, I add cylindrical mapping to the area I want the decal to appear. I apply the decal and render. Result, I get the decal and the rest of the object disappears. The first applied material does not show. I try reapplying the first material, then the decal disappears. There is obviously some step I am missing. Can anyone help? Jim Hawkins
