Some questions I came upon while reading throught the manuals. I've normally used Surface/mapping/apply obj. but I found a command Surface/material/assign face and I'm wondering about ways it can be used. I'm assuming that surface/material/assign face is the same as face mapping in the materials editor. Is face mapping the same as you get when mapping in the lofter or is the lofter map some sort of continuous map which aligns with each face? Do most of the common mapped materials work out ok when face mapped? Is face mapping the same as doing a Create/face/detach then Surface/mapping/apply obj. and then doing Create/object/attach. Thanks Kim
