Hello again, I just want to thank you all for helping me each day. To have this resource available at my beck and call is absolutely valuable. I hopefully am going to have something worth looking at by Feb, and at that point will make tapes available to anyone who's interested. You're all a great bunch of folks and supremely helpful and supportive. I couldn't ask for anything more! Anyway, enough gushing. I got another problem (now that I've kissed up <g>). I'm sure others have run across this. I have my (infamous) picture on the wall and one on a desk, as well as a label on a box, all of which have strong horizontal black lines. They are jagged and I'm not sure how to fix it. This is anti-aliased, and I've set my pixel size to 1.5, but it doesn't help. Any ideas? Thanks! James

I've got no idea what you mean by your description, James. If you want to simplify the file to just one object that illustrates what you're seeing, you can zip it up (with the associated maps and a text file explaining what you want me to look at) and email it to me via Easyplex. I'll then look at it and tell you what's going on with it. – G

Hey Gary, Welcome back! And thanks for the offer of taking my image in for repair – Jack actually pointed to the right button – change the texture map from PYRAMIDAL to SUMMED AREA… Thanks! James

Assuming you're talking about a texture map, try setting the filtering in the Mapping Parameters dialog for the texture map to Summed Area instead of Pyramidal. – Jack

Hey Jack, <<Assuming you're talking about a texture map, try setting the filtering in the Mapping Parameters dialog for the texture map to Summed Area instead of Pyramidal. Thanks, man. That did it. Now if I can just figure out how to flip the map so that the writing on the label isn't backwards (thought it would be mirror, but nope)… Thanks James

Almost any paint/image-processing program will flip an image. If it's applied with a planar mapping icon, just acquire the icon and rotate it 180. – J
