Oops. Well I figured out one part of the problem. Seems texture rotation and translation "IS" possible. You have to apply it as a Parametric Mapping. Then you have access to the rotation and traslation controls. That solves a big part of the problem I was having. Only thing left is to figure out how to control the scale of the texture. If I can figure that out, everything will be alright in the world. :-) Thanks again to everyone who replied. Donnie
