Hi gents I'm having a problem with your BLAST texture. The general look of the texture is very unique and just what I need, except the top and/or bottom of the effect keeps getting cut off. It will fall off perfectly around the side edges but stop abruptly on the top or bottom. I also noticed the center color appears to elongate. That part I don't mind, but if I am making some fundimental mistake I thought that could be a clue. I have experimented with this texture a lot and have not resolved this problem. Help! Steve Gale

Stephen, the docs say "the texture axis bounding box actually bounds the area of effect of this texture". Since you say the top/bottom get cut off, and you also get an elongated effect, perhaps your X/Y axes are not the same length? The Imagine Texture Guide (an electronic AmigaGuide version of the Impulse texture docs, along with sample pics) shows a sample Blast image with no cutoff whatsoever. Can't help you more than that; I haven't tried Blast. (So many Imagine+Essence textures, so little time) Blaq!

Charles, you mention the Imagine Texture Guide. Where can one find this file? Jim R. Ollick on a Warped 4000/040/40 Using AP 1.75 from Bergenfield, NJ
