Bob I'm creating a very simple box as in packaging box, how much simpler can you get! and I have a problem! The objects: 1. A box! (7.25 x 9 x 1.5 ") the front of which receives a front bitmap. 2.The side (9 x 1.5")(paper thin) to receive side bitmap. 3.The back (7 x 9")(paper thin) to receive back bitmap The maps: Bitmaps (3 tiffs) are to fit the front (big box) both sides and the back. The tiffs were created for the most part in photoshop & HRQFX. The problem is w/ the decalled bitmaps of the 2 attached sides and back used to carry the side and back bitmaps. the bitmaped front attached to the main box is perfect beyond my expectations…….the side and back however have a semicircular white, half ellipse that extends into the map from the top that is of a more course rez than the map! this occurs on the side "attached" box and the back but not the main box which has the front bitmap! In the mat editor: for the sides and back with "decal" turned "on", I get the ellipse, but with "tile" turned "on", it does not appear (the repitition makes this unusable though)! Again, I don't have this problem w/ the front map on the main box object, just the sides and back! I hope this is clear enough, I never dreamed something this simple could have probs! BTW judging from the yearbook photos…….hey, dude, loose the shades….you look like you just stepped off the set of a movie like "risky business"! The only shocker was Ted Boardman….I thought ZZ Top was a Texas phenom! Gary Yost and the other yosties all look as I thought they would! Gary (JKF jr's lookalike-not!) Angle
