mrmacca, wasn't trying to be mean, sorry if i sounded like a smartass. i didn't realize that it was broken until today anyway, when i tried your resolution fix in the attribute editor, then i realized that it wasn't the resolution but the texture that was out of whack.

pony, texture resolution is 1024x1024. shader breakdown is this:
created blinn, selected color>map, selected file, chose the file that i painted in photoshop, loaded file, exited attribute editor, middle mouse dragged onto ship, and that's what happened. i didn't do anything else to it. don't have any bump/spec maps, just color for now. has this ever happened to anyone else?

if anyone would like to take a look at it i can zip it and send it to you, but i don't want to waste simplymaya's bandwidth to put it on this thread if no one is going to download it.
