Hello Guys,

I am currently trying to use Pov to make a virtual box, My troube comes
with the "image_map" functionality .
I'd like to map some GIF's on each face of that box, it works very fine
with the cover and the back of the object, but when I try to apply it
on the sides, the top and the bottom, It fails each time, I mean POV
tries to map the GIF's but it only takes a bit of it so Only a little
part of the GIF is displayed on the box, II defined my SCALE and
TRANSLATE in the same state of mind as for the cover and the back, but i
don't know why it does NOT work :(
Well, PLEASE, HAVE A LOOK AT MY SCRIPT BELOW, THANKS A LOT, I've been
reading the  the Manual for a bunch of days, I tried to find some
examples on the web, everything seems allright, but I am still at the
same situation.

I thought that you guys maybe encoutered that kinda trouble and prolly
know how to fix it,

Regards,

Here is a copy of my POV SOURCE :
