I just want to say how very cool it is to have a Carrara users community out there to help solve the little problems I encounter! I tried the photoshop technique and spoke "BEAUTIFUL! JUST BEAUTIFUL" out loud. I'm modelling a 'virtual kitchen to demo different wood finishes on a cabinet builder's product. This tiling is essential, and I'm very thankful. I'll post the result when it's done. BTW, I find my modelling skill has taken a giant leap with Cararra Studio 3 as compared to the old RDS days. David
