I am a novice user of the Toaster (2000). I have several questions, including two that I will list here. For my other questions I would like to learn of a good source for answers. (I recently subscribed to Toaster User.) 1/ My first question is about creating texture maps. I want to model an antique tin box. It has artwork printed on its exterior. I tried to capture the texture by framestoring the sides of the box and cutting brushes of the images I need in the Toaster Paint program. When I view the RGB of the brush, thier is always more of the frame store than I cut. How do I isolate the portion of the image that I want to use? 2/ Second is a modeling question. I want to model a box with a hole in the center. How? When I try I always change the shape of the box. Thanks, I hope some guru will save me from my lack of experience. J. Wesley Helms P.S. Is Toaster Ver 3.1 worth the upgrade without an Amiga 4000?
