Originally posted by Furry Fury im useing the wood texture than comes with maya. (just for reference i have 7.0 unlimited) and i pretty sure i have the uvs messed up, accidently put the texture on another object once it it was almost correct that whas one of my chess peices though and it had lots of sides That might no be the VU's at all, in fact I really doubt it, I think it might be the default 3d placement node that needs adjusting (if you created it that way??) YOu really need to show what it looks ike rendered. If your really think its the uv's then go for it.
