In Imagine, when going through the tutorial manual about image mapping – it mentions resizing the Z & X axis of the "Edit Attributes" of the brush being mapped by hitting "S" and selecting the axis to resize. I've tried this, and all that gets resized is the bounding box. And when the actual axis get resized, I can only resize both the Z & X axis at the same time and can not resize only one axis. Plus, how do you determine how much of your image will be encorporated in the Z & X axis? Lets say I have a 640X400 24-bit IFF image that I'm mapping to a surface, what size Z & X axis should I have to optimally map this image to that surface? Or will it automatically figure this out for me? Does Imagine automatically size the image to fit what ever size I resize my axis to? Joe

Joe, I ran into the same sizing problem. It turns out that you have to set the Local rather than the default World setting when resizing brush axis in just one direction. Not logical, but it works. Don

I believe the LOCAL is selected by default, and the WORLD setting is greyed out (ie: so you can not select that).

Joe, No, when editing a brush, the World is defaulted. If you change a size in one direction, you will see the axis change, but if you press the space bar and then try to re-edit, you will see that the bounding box did not stay changed. If you change it to Local first, then change the size in one direction, it stays changed. Don

Don, I found out what you were talking about, I was confusing WORLD & LOCAL in the requestor as opposed to on the Windows. Joe
