oooh, I get it...you already DID scale the material to get it to look right...and using a different scale doesn't work...hm. If karl's ideas don't work for you, can you change the scale of the function instead of the material? Or capture a chunk of the brick material as a map and make it a map-based material instead of a function one? And who puts a brick floor in a poured concrete building anyway? ;) MaryCanary
