>> Just go into the Mapping Parameters dialog and change the map type from >> Decal to Tile and they should work fine. Thanks for your prompt reply. The default for the pine tree's materials _is_ Tile in my Mapping Parameters dialog box. I tried all three options anyway and it doesn't seem to make much difference. Also, there is still a major brightness problem. I need to have a spotlight at 255 with the multiplier set to 2 or more to even be able to see more than a silhouette of a tree on the screen. This was not the case with R2. My other option is to jack the gamma setting way up to some ridiculous level. That, of course, screws up everything else in the scene.
