Hello Guy,

Normally, I use that technique (mapping images to planes) all the time, and normally it works. In Frances' file, I could not figure out why it appeared to have a texture applied but would not render. Even after switching the graphic, it would not render. Some setting had to be set wrong, but I couldn't find it. I deleted that texture and reapplied another one (from scratch) and it worked fine.

If you do find out why you were having problems with the mapping, please do post it (as you said), because I am very curious. As I said, normally, no problems whatsoever with that feature.

Are you enjoying the book? It was highly recommended, so I have a feeling that it will surely help in step-by-step approaching this (wonderful) beast that is...BLENDER.

Have fun!

James
