Hi Everyone,  I bought a model of an airship for poser and have imported it into Carrara 5 Pro and it renders okay. Now I am attempting to make my own bump and texture maps for it, but I have run into a problem.

Here I have used the UV map as a texture to show you:

It doesn't matter which orientation I choose to export the UV map in I get a black band around the corners as if the mesh is all squashed up.

I should point out that the texture looks fine in 2D, it just looks weird when applied to the mesh.

Sorry if this a dumb question, I am a newbie to Carrara and 3D modelling in general but am keen to learn.
