Ok I am trying to figure out why things do not work as I need them to. All I want to do is put a picture on some buildings and have the camera fly around them. The problem is that parts of the picture are see thru. At first I thought it had to do with colors but now I think it has to do with lighting. Then I zoomed in all the way and it looked normal...whats going on? The only thing that looked weird when makeing it was that the square that the pic sits in is on the otherside of the building...no matter where I put the square box the pic showed up on the buildings oppisit side..maybe thats part of the problem? Anyway, ANY help would be great Thanks -brent

Well it looks as if I learned something!! Well something made its way into my skull. My problem was I was useing projection mapping. I thought the only differnece between projection and parametric was that projection was limited to only one plane. Looks as if I was wrong..projection actually projects? Once I went to parametric I swung the pic to the correct side and it rendered great!! Wow! Thanks for all your help brent... :)
