I wasn't sure if they would remap or not. I will try the color one. Just picked up a book, "Photoshop 5 3D Textures" by Geoffrey Smith. Title says it all really. :) Up to Chap 4 already - just discussing texture types now. Intermediate photoshop stuff so far - nothing enlightening yet. But it seems to be a good starter for me. Does anyone know of a good source for flower pictures - not roses, sunflowers or pansies? Or leaves not ivy? About the Obj's - I never throw stuff away if it's useful That's what zipdiscs are for. I'm a bit of a packrat when it comes to digital images. :) I still have clipart from WordPerfect 3.1 On a side note - how much trouble will I get in if I sample textures from Michael Whelan's "Summer Queen"? (copyrighted published image) Lots I expect :( What's the legalities on that? like music sampling? There's a bit on the collar that I really want to use. I may just go for 'look&feel'
