The stretching is caused by the planar map. There may be a way to use a planar map and lay it out some how so it will work, but I haven't found it. The planar map will work great for solid colors or for textures that don't have a pattern - like a sweater. But if you are using a pattern, then the cylinder mapping will work. I did have stretching on the sleeves when I mapped the shirt as a cylinder, but when I pulled them off and mapped them as a cylinder (from another angle) I eliminated the stretching there too. Kevin
