Kinda sounds like you have a spline that wasn't closed. It should be a single object. It may also be extraneous geometry was added when converting from the spline into a mesh object. I do it in 3ds - apply the bit maps and the alpha image in whatever program you're using so that it creates the uv mapping before importing it into Vue. In Max , I just put an Edit mesh modifier on it after I make it into a spline. That makes it into a plane the shape of the spline. Don't add any additional geometry though. Bot
