Thanks for the reply. After further experimentation, I think you're right,
the texture rotates but the slope vector doesn't change.

I had also thought of doing it as a macro, but by my understanding of how
textures are stored, that would essentially mean creating a new texture
definition for every object.  As the actual texture I'm using is a lot more
complex than the one in the sample, and since the object is a wheel for a
railroad car, by the time I build a 60 car train I'll be out of memory.

Well, on to plan b...
