I made a typograpical error in my message to you: facemapping is NOT good for walls and such – my type made it sound like facemapping might work but it almost never will unless you want triangular tiles. I have seen the Elastic Reality truck animation. It is quite good! I don't have a flatbed or slide scanner either, but I do have a 35mm camera. Usually I send slides to a service bureau (pre-press or desk top publishing type) and have them scan it. I have found that many of the CD-ROMs out there have superb texture maps on them that just need a little adjusting – I use Photostyler and Fractal Painter to accomplish customized maps from CD-ROM texture collections. Also, there are lots of photo libraries on CD-ROM and not all of them are Kodak format – you could check into some of those, too. John Tissavary (LUNA cie, inc)
