Many thanks!
I thought texture encapsulation was more complicated, now it works!

GREAT!
I restored the old declare!
Left = a car silver from my old render 2002 vers.2.??
Center = BAD !!! my attempt to restore the old code into vers 3.7
right = very well for me ! with your help
Many thanks to all!

PS. I don't have a great ability to render realistically. I dedicate myself to
geometry, code and projects, usually, but this for my needs is more than
satisfying!

nice models, a forecourt (like a car dealer) or a parking lot, just .. an
overview, would be v cool though (I suspect you've "a collection" :-)).


regards, jr.
