Well, I'll probably be screwing around a bit. For starters though, does anyone know how to map an image to a sphere where it covers the entire sphere? Look at the 5th post above and you can see the bitmap did not cover the top of the sphere. Bryce and other programs have the ability to remap the texture on the fly. I did notice there's a UV and XY coordinate node with numerical value but it had absolutely NO effect on how the image mapped to the sphere. As for SR3, yeah, that screwed me up too. You don't have to reinstall Poser, just run SR 2.1 and it will overwrite.
