Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can anyone help me to rotate a texture. I need to apply a wood texture to objects and seems like the only way to make the grain run the right way is to rotate the object. This is fine if its a simple shape, but its a pain if I have to reconstruct a complex one. Is there an easy way to rotate a texture on an already-created object. thanks for any help! David

Just select the UV Projection tool and rotate the wire-frame representation of the map using the Object Rotate tool. Then click Apply. – Shane.
