I have a feeling you need to rotate you image map to align to the
plane you are applying it to. For example it sounds like you are trying
to map it to a Y plane used as a floor surface. To orient it properly
try the following:
plane { y, 0
pigment {
image_map { tga "image.tga" interpolate 2
} // end image_map
translate -0.5 // this centers the image to the origin
rotate 90*x // rotate to match the surface of the plane
scale <1,1,1> // what ever scale you wish to use here
} // end pigment
} // end plane object
This will work for a plane that is oriented in the Y direction. You will
have to rotate differently for the other two plane directions.
