G- I have a question about swap files. If I have 32MB of RAM and 6MB is being used by the program, why should my swap file be so large, ie several MB? Is there a way that I can reduce this amount. Because of this, I must exit 3DS and re-run it everytime use the material editor and want to render an image. I read the manual and set the CFIG as it suggested. Have any ideas? And to answer your question about the alpha file status. Yes, its been handled; the facilities that I have been using want a full alpha-ed image. As a result, I still need to go into QFX and create the alpha file over the entire image so they can use it. The image that I sent you called NOALPHA.TGA is exactly what 3DS produced — so I don't need to send you the model. The other image represents what the facilities want. Regardless of what Alvy says, I have to keep my clients happy. Thanks for your help on this. Incidently, you implied that I sent the file to the wrong location. Is that so? If so, where and how should have I sent it? Finally, I haven't gotten any answers on how to get a flat texture map on the example I sent out on the forum. How can I get a flat, undistorted, texture map on the faces inside a cube with a door cut out of it? The camera is in the inside, and each wall has a door (a rectangular hole) to the outside. I use face map but the map looks distorted. Gotta fix? -Gregory
