G'Day there, newie Vue user, trying to creat architecural objects in Lightwave then using UVmapper (classic), for textures, (appears ok, mapped in LW), bu when imported into Vue (4.05), as per above images, mapping is ??, shall we say, way off. Any help, advice, links to tuts, would be appreciated. LW version in 7.5, Vue 4.05. Ta.

Any reason why you haven't updated to the actual version of Vue 4? 4.22 is the newest when i remember it right. You should try that as #1. You haven't said from which format you imported into Vue. obj? 3ds? lwo? Maybe you try other formats as well. As well you can change the mapping method here. I know - as we all can see every day in the gallery - that the import works fine with Poser models. Including the correct positioning of the maps. And with 3ds too - i use that a lot, even when my Vue 4 days are over a long time ago.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

Hi. Depending on how you saved your map, you may have to flip or rotate the image. Most often it is just a matter of flipping the image vertically. First, try replacing the 1.000 in the "Picture Scale Y" edit box with -1.000. HTH
