Hi Kurt, Just want to let you know that your MechTut works great (see the pictures). This is my first tut/model apart from some very basic ones on the internet. I'm new to Maya and must say it's a fantastic software and probably take a lifetime to learn! But I give a da.. This is pure fun! I've just started the MechTexture tut . UV-mapping hmm there will be a lot of clicking. I'll post some pictures when I'm ready in a couple of years, he he. regards, AkeWest
