I know that in your readme you say this is the first obj you have made. I could not have done it, which is why I downloaded yours, so thankyou, I think. I say that because I don't know if you have realised that when you swing the pentacle on the y axis the reverse shows the sign of the devil. In other words when you textured this you reversed your tex file up and down, not side to side. I only found out because I wanted the pentacle on its own, without the wooden background, so I made a trans map from your jpg and got a ten point star. Most people would not worry, but as a pagan I was a bit upset, and also now need to go back to the drawing board to find a pentacle for the image I have in mind.

Gee...sorry about that. I actually just textured it the one time, it must have flipped the other side on its own. I'm actually a Pagan too... but this doesn't bother me. If I remember correctly, there is another pentagram in the free stuff somewhere...in .3ds format I think. That may suit your needs, but you'll need to texture it yourself. Thanks for letting me know... if I can manage to fix that problem, I'll let you know.

Actually the upside down pentacle is in Traditional Wicca, the symbol for 2nd degree (I'm a 3rd degree Gardnerian H.Ps.). Unless it has a goats head in it, it isn't really the sign of the Christian mythological creature known as the devil/satan.

In anycase though, I made an openface pentacle that you may have. :) http://www.magickdream.com/wolfrose/pentacle.zip

Hey thanks for that, really nice of you. I guess I am a bit touchy about some things, but the pentacle reversed means different things to different people. Thankyou again for the link. will go there later, at present I have not got a good connection.
