Yes, I know that the end result map will need to be bitmapped, I was thinking about saving harddrive space since an .ai file is much smaller than say a 5000 x 5000 image. Thanks for the pointers from the Corel perspective, your right about "vector is vector".

The blur setting doesn't seem to matter, I've tried 0.5, 2.0, and 6.0 they all do the same thing...the blur is correct for where the figure is but the figure itself doesn't render, if I turn the blur option off, "Voila" the figure reappears, maybe its a memory thing (yeah, that's always a good scapegoat)

Actually I think it was a combination of not really knowing how to do the import the first time and a reflection map conflict...It works flawlessly when I just use the texture map alone and turn off the others

Thanks Locke, That looks 99% better, but the texture still isn't perfectly mapping. (See Upload)The map I used is the P4 woman default with tan lines added in Photoshop. I deleted the hair completely in case that was influencing the map, but it still maps the same way. Any ideas??
