Holy War?? LOL! I'll grab a helmet then!
OK, next question...how does it work exactly? I was taking a quess on 
what it does, like I mentioned, my French was not up to snuff. (Wonder 
where me ol' verb conjugation book went to?) Actually, what you say 
about uv mapping makes sense to me, I did notice some odd things when I 
brought an old scene file into megapov and added some uv mapping, 
hopefully to better wrap my brick texture (Not the scene I need help 
with) As I'm new to megapov, I likely overlooked something. I had a look 
at the include file for 13 Horror (Author escapes me for the moment) and 
he DID use a radial texture and some csg for the same effect I'm trying 
to get. However, this approach will only work for one row of bricks. If 
you want several rows, you either need to make multiple csgs or come up 
with something else. As has been mentioned, isos would look far better, 
and I will experiment with them for sure, but having an alternate method 
for things not in the center of attention would be handy, and kinder on 
my render time.
