tuttle: "Procedural textures, 3D or otherwise, are directly affected by the dimensions of the object unless a parametric scale option is chosen." I only use parametric mapping for pic mapping, a purely procedural (non image-based...I may be using my own definitions here :^) texture seems to work better for me in the other mapping modes. I think when someone says that procedural textures don't stretch with the object, they may be referring to non image-based textures, which don't usually distort with object sizing in non-parametric modes. I think... Just when I think I've got it all sussed out, Bryce will throw me a curve.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
