Hi LP, I cant be suprised at anyone being confused with this subject. I am the one that posted the tutorial you read, and I myself have had problems using my own tecnique!! What your aiming for is not easy, but what I suggest you do to make life easier is something that I may well add to the tutorial one day, goes like this... Make yourself another camera (just up the camera save slot to 2) so that you can move it completely away from your scene. (make sure to save first!!!) Create a terrain with NOTHING on it, just a flat terrain and position your camera directly above it looking down. Now add your distribution map, and use two completely contrasting materials (I use plain red, and plain yellow) and play with the scale until its placed where you want it to be on the terrain in question (of course the new terrain and the one you want the map on have to be the same size!) I have battled this forever, and I cant find any total continuity between how Vue behaves, this is one of the only ways I can find to get the effect you want each time. Place it as explained above, and then use the same scale etc on the terrain you want it on. This will at least put it in the right area... Hope this helps, Kutter.
