There are a couple of methods around the place, Sam Benge, Edouard Poor 
for the most notable. Personally, I much prefer Edouard's method and 
have used it extensively. I developed a HowTo from it and maybe I can 
make you happy with that some day?  :-)

I am going to verify if everything is straightforward and then post the 
needed files...

Thanks Alain,
B3D sets the default value for intervals to 10. We must have missed that 
during testing.
I have created a default texture in the new scene template which I will 
copy instead of creating from the menu.
(Thinking back. This must be the source of many of my problems in the past.)

IIRC, intervals 10 is the default for method 1 and 2. Also, method 1 was 
the default before version 3.5.

It's common for pre version 3.5 scenes and include to set intervals to 
larger values than that. It's also common for external utilities made 
during that time to have similar settings.

In that case. There is no one to blame but myself. I should have caught 
it in Beta testing. :(
You have a good memory.

All right guys. Auction is open. How much for a texture? Starting at 10 
round tuits.

I think they would need to see them first. I would.
