Kill Rhino and, while your at it, destroy your gifs.

Very nice.

Is that a bat?

Personal to me:  Jr is now #30. But who will break 714(?).
Mac or the Cry Baby?

The POV export is pretty good. It can export a big POV file or a small
POV file and a separate INC for every object. It would have been good
if all elements on a layer could be made into a single mesh, but even
now preparing a 50 MB exported mesh for rendering takes about 5
minutes.

Thanks, and yes. A bat with 100 inch radius.

I don't get it. 
But then again I didn't get your statement about gifs either. Surrealism?

personal to me:
Are you sure that personal to you?

Jr is now #30
Is it because of your plans that you say jr is now 30?

But who will break 714(?)
Does it bother you that who will break 714?

Mac or the Cry Baby?
Is it because of the people you hang around with that you are going through
all this?

I am seriously considering registering it. I'll have to see the terms
and conditions for a student's license and of course I'll have to
figure a way to pay (I hope they accept cash).

If I recall from reading their web page (emphasis on "if") it's just a
discount on price... same terms and conditions.

Yes. But then I have to make the maps 4 times bigger, cause they wrap all the
way around. And I like to keep memory usage down. I'm using a radial pigment
map now, just as Josh English suggested earlier in this thread.

Just realized how lame this post was. To defend myself, it was Dr. Emacs who
spoke, not me.

4.7.8.9.1 The once Option
Normally there are an infinite number of repeating image maps,
bump maps or material maps created over every unit square of the
x-y-plane like tiles. By adding the once keyword after a file
name you can eliminate all other copies of the map except the one
at (0,0) to (1,1). In image maps, areas outside this unit square
are treated as fully transparent. In bump maps, areas outside
this unit square are left flat with no normal modification.  In
material maps, areas outside this unit square are textured with
the first texture of the texture list.

For example:

  image_map {
    gif "mypic.gif"
    once
  }

A cylindrical image map will wrap all the way around the ball, regardless of
wether once is used. My png-s are covering an 40 deg. angle. To avoid they
getting stretched beyond recognition, I would have to make them looong.
