Yup I know all that, but how the hell do you get a texture from the mat lab to stick to the leaves. For some reason when I do that it applies the leaf texture to the trunk, even when I have selected leaves. It's crazy. Before when I have altered leaves I have used my own textures and everything is fine. It's just that these leaves from bryce are mat files not jpg files.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
