I am tring to map pictures as textures for the first time. I have Vue 4.12. I took photos of the graphics on a whole bunch of buttons and dials. I now need to accurately align them and scale them so they map onto their cooresponding shapes. The only way I have come up with is very time consuming. I sample render (just the object of interest), open the texture editor and type in new scale or offset values, exit the editor and re-render. Then I do it again and again and again.... Is there an easier way? Is there a trick in preparing the pictures that helps? Is there a way to know the best picture resolution to use other than trial and error? I hope someone cleverer than I has licked this problem. AVARA
