>>It looks as if separate strips of material have been randomly applied to each facet<< Aha!! I should have thought of that! Yes, you've probably got Planar Mapping Type selected, which doesn't continue the texture map over non-parallel neighboring polygons. Organic, Spherical or Cylindrical mapping will probably work for you, depending on the shape of your geometry. The proper times to use Spherical or Cylindrical are self-explanatory; Organic works well with irregular shapes. Hope this helps. Nick Josephs Visual Software
