Hello cn24, Here's the answer i usually give when someone asks me about Uvmapping ('happens pretty often) : For an organic model, it's best to build UVmapping and paint a texture in a 2D program . Basically, UVmapping lets you define how a texture map will be projected on a 3D object . In the Tools folder of the content CD, you'll find a software called UVMapper . There are tutorials for it that should help you to get your feet wet with UVmapping . Here's the procedure : - in Carrara, export your model to OBJ - import your model in UVmapper - build your UVmapping (follow the tutorials) - save your model - export a texture template - open your favourite 2D prog and paint your texture map on this template - import the OBJ model in Carrara - apply the texture map to the model It may sound complicated at first, but when you get the hang of it, it has a lot of advantages . I hope it helps :) litst
