I could really use some help in understanding the way Turbo Silver does IFF mapping. I'm running into problems trying to map an IFF brush containing a pattern onto a custom built object (created by adding points to an axis and then spinning). No matter how I go about this, the result is always a very streaked coloring of my object. My brush doesn't show up on the object, yet I can see Silver is trying to map the brush to the object because the brush colors show up on the object – sort of. Turbo Silver doesn't mention anything about mapping brushes in its manual. I understand this was added in Silver 1.1. I upgraded directly from 1.0 to Turbo. I hope they do a little more thorough job of documenting things in the next upgrade. I'm really interested in what you have to say about all this. ps. I notice that the control key has a similar effect as the left shift key in multi mode, but adds an asterisk in the title bar. This is also undocumented. Do you know what this is for? Thanx.
