Bloodsong, I realize you said this was theoretical - but do you have a purpose in mind? Looking at a few of the existing animal textures, I don't see enough commonality between the different animal texturing. What is in common, is probably the easiest part... No, I'm thinking about this all wrong. Me bad. The benefit would be in putting some new exotic textures on to animals - lots of realistic textures already exist. Now I like the idea. The stretching might not matter so much for that. Could make anthropomorphic textures with body paint and tattoos. A herd of diverse sentient animals that belong to a given cyber-tribe, using a shared texture. NOTE: I'm not a texturer - I'm just interested in characters that blur the human/animal boundary. Why did you dismiss wombat's querying how such a task might be done? I am curious as to your thoughts about how to accomplish this. -- ToolmakerSteve
