Hi everyone,
While working on texturing a new modle I made, I've run into a strange problem that I've never encountered before.
After I apply the texture to the model, and then render it, a weird anomaly shows up in the finished product. It's a black splotch that's not there on the texture itself. Can anyone shed some light on ths for me? If so, pleeeeeeeeaaase tell me that it's simple to fix. Not something like "you'll have to recreate the whole model to get rid of it". See below for an example of what I'm talking about. The red circle shows the area of the texture that corresponds to the part of the model where the problem lies, and just to the right, and below it, is a small square that shows the rendered model, with the funky black creeping unknown. Any advice (especially if it's good news!) will be appreciated.
Thanks -

Steve
