Hello again. Can't say that I have, that I ever remember.

If you're using map_type 1 and applying the pigment to the entire blob (not
individual components) I don't see any reason for it not to work right. At
least until it begins to change away from a spherical shape. Once it begins
to distort away from a sphere the image can't map to individual parts
properly when using an ordinary image_map without uv mapping. I have no idea
if blob can ever be uv mapped. In any case, translate and scale shouldn't
matter for map_type 1.
