Actually, Tennessee Ernie Ford was a personality who was famous for singing "John Henry" (A Steel Drivin' Man)The song itself is much older than TEF and comes from the Gospel singing lexicon.("16 tiles... 16 tons, a play on words- goofy things that come into your mind at 2 A.M.) You can see the tile seams if I tilt the model up and look down on it, but the lower angle hides them. I could "tightening it up" but don't need to for my purpose. Also the tex maps line up correctly from tile to tile so you don't notice seams. Again I have to thank JeffH for turning me onto the Wave Deformer. I had simply never looked at it before but I had always been looking for a way to do this in Poser- and it was sitting right there! You can make some nice rolling waves and it creates the possibility of even surf waves. I have even theorized on "Transparency Mapped Surf Waves" for a Poser Gidget Goes Surfing idea...
