I need some help scaling a material that I scanned in. I draw a 3D Chair in AutoCAD and Dxf'd it to 3D Studio. I scanned the proposed material swatch in through photoshop and created the material in the material editor. Only problem I have is that the material design is about 10 times larger than I want it to be when I perform a rendering. Could anyone outline the correct process for me ? BFH

BFH, << Only problem I have is that the material design is about 10 times larger than I want it to be when I perform a rendering. Could anyone outline the correct process for me ? >> Sure… check out pg 12-14 of the R3 Tutorials or pg 11-1 of the R2 tutorials. jonas[adesk]

<I need some help scaling a material that I scanned in.> In 3D editor choose SURFACE-Mapping -adjust -scale and adjust the yellow icon (the little handle represents the UP position) to match the size you want in relation to your object). Also adjust the orientation if needed. -Arturo
