Thanks for the reference. I will study this tomorrow for future use. I did visit your site earlier today and got the Mac version 2.9. Was running 2.6 without any problems. Needless to say, the program has been a tremendous help in the past. Unfortunately, it appears I was using an incorrect file in today's work. Because of the difficulties, I ran with an EI plug-in which "unfolds" mesh; it entails multiple maps in a non-uv manner. This works fairly well as EI has great mapping capabilities. I must say this has been a learning experience. I tried the demo of Cinema4d's product, Bodypaint, and did a frog via painting of fact uv files in Amorphium 1.0. The results were rather poor and still difficult to achieve any realism. In my little experience it appears much easier to do this with programs like UV Mapper, Steamroller, etc and PS. Thanks again for the help. manowar
