I've got a sphere with a size of 2. I have a huge tga image I want to wrap around it.
I've set
map_type to 1, but I only get a tiny portion of my image being used. How do I get it
to use the
whole picture? Thanks,

David

Is your sphere centered at the origin when you apply the image map?

#macro N(D,I)#if(I<6)cylinder{M()#local D[I]=div(D[I],104);M().5,2pigment{
rgb M()}}N(D,(D[I]>99?I:I+1))#end#end#macro M()<mod(D[I],13)-6,mod(div(D[I
],13),8)-3,10>#end blob{N(array[6]{11117333955,
7382340,3358,3900569407,970,4254934330},0)}//                     - Warp -

Apply the texture before transforming your sphere. Be sure that your sphere
is centred at the origin from the beginning:

sphere {
    <0,0,0>, 2
texture {
    pigment {image_map {tga "your.tga" map_type 1}}
}
translate wherever_you_want
}

Okay thanks, that worked. But now my picture is upsidedown. How do I rotate it 180
degrees?

Oops. It should just be flipped. How do I flip it? Thanks,

Put a "scale <1,-1,1>" inside the texture statement.

That didn't work. It's still upside down. Anyway i've flipped the texture map :-). Now
i want to
rotate my sphere, with the texture on it. I've tried rotate <2,0,0> but it still stays
the same.

Which way do you want to rotate it and by how much? The rotate that
you described above will only give you 2 degrees of rotation and will
be difficult to see. Try something larger like rotate <90,0,0>.
