OK SixPackWolf - tried it your way and still no go. Here is a screen cap of my work area- you can see the texture I used, the settings I used. It is a 3ds model and see what I am talking about!! I cannot figure this thing out. Driving me crazy and spending too much time on it. I have a major project due - last week - and I am a perfectionist. If I cannot get this to work, don;t know what I will do...
