I don't see that at the end of the geom.inc file. This is what I get.

#declare WizRobe02c_59_=
union {
object{WizRobe02c_59_RobeMain_  uv_mapping material{RobeMain_}}
object{WizRobe02c_59_Trim_  uv_mapping material{Trim_}}
object{WizRobe02c_59_SleevesMain_  uv_mapping material{SleevesMain_}}
object{WizRobe02c_59_Cuff_  uv_mapping material{Cuff_}}
object{WizRobe02c_59_SleevesTrain_  uv_mapping material{SleevesTrain_}}
split_union off
}

Do you still want the OBJ file?

I see. I had simply amputated the part of the code that was causing the problem.
Just adding a space never occurred to me. I will go back to this and try simply
adding a space. That may allow the textures to render properly. I will let you
know.

I love the lattice work and would probably buy some if I were down under and
settled. I looked at your site earlier and was impressed.
Do you use a former when you are constructing the figurines?

I see there is a space there. I did the modifications late last night 
and I forgot that there should not be any uv_mapping in the union 
statement. It is already added to the object declarations. Please send 
me the OBJ file if you can just to make sure.

thanks,

Out of curiosity: Isn't the term "uv_mapping" in the "//Model assembly from 
the meshes" block not redundant, as the uv_mapping materials are already 
included into the preceding "//This encapsulates the material into the mesh 
so that Moray can use the original materials" block?

This is really impressive Robert! Glass being what it is, and difficult to 
work with.

That is good news. It will certainly work better than the ribbons. I am 
impatient to experiment with it.
