ok here's A question: How come when I use projection mapping I get inconsistant results...IE when I map on one side it appears to have differnet values than if I map on the oposit side. My guess is that there is a front to every object and thats how it projects. If you dont guess where that front is then you get wierd reflections on your map...how far off base am I? The only way I can texture in Carrara is to model everything with little parts and then just texture each part. I have never been able to use projection/parametric/etc in the way the manual describes. Something is always messed up. Anyone have any good tutorials? When I do the ones in Carrara bible it always works, but anyone can put a texture on the can...its a bit different when I build larger more complex models. Oh well..maybe when amapi becomes available in C2 things will be a bit different. I think a lot of my problems happen b/c I dont model in Carrara.
