Stan, I tried your suggestions contained in message # 2897 and sorry to say, that didn't take care of the mapping/gnippam problem. Instead of 2 discrete images though, the forward/backward brush was connected. I had a sphere of 100 units, axis of 200 Z and 320 Y. The axis was at -100 x, -100 z, and 0Oy. Oddly enough this resulted in the axis bisecting the sphere when viewed from the Right View….. i.e. (|). I had done this accidentally before and noticed that it didn't seem to matter, I originally thought the axis had to be between the camera and the object.. i.e. – |(), where – is the camera, | is the brush axis and () is the object. Re-reading the message, I see something that might be confusing. When I say "sphere of 100 units, axis of 200 Z and 320 Y" I am of course talking about 2 objects, the sphere and the IFF brush axis. I'm still lost as to how to do the mapping without getting mirrored brushes, any suggestions? Thanks for all the help, any clues as to what's in store from Impulse? How about an easy way to convert IFF images (outlines?) to Silver objects? If I could do that, I'd forget about mapping brushes to objects and just work on the objects themselves.
