Thanks Eric. I know this may sound bad, but I dont understand why it is necessary to purchase a plugin to do something that is basic in most other apps. I realize Carrara is not a Power app, but it has GI, Caustics, Bones, Plant generator. It does these things and does them very well. Why something as basic as texture placement is not addressed I dont understand. I think if other Carrara users were able to see how useful being able to place textures can be, they too would be asking these same questions. The texture dialog does allow you to rotate the texture, but only in 90 degree increments. The example I cited before is a good example of the value of this feaure. If you place a procedural on an object and then you change its position, you can animate this change. The only way I see to do this now is to move the object through World Coordinates. Which changes its location within the scene, which is hardly useful. Having said that, I will take a look at your plugin tonight when I get in from work. Sounds like it might do what I need. Thanks for taking the time to respond here and to my personal message. Donnie
