The attached image gives a better example of what I am talking about. The image is mapped to the front of a cube. Lets say I want the image to be smaller on the cube. How do I do that? With a layer and then resize the layer? It is much simpler to have a control for the size of the texture, rather than having to actually go in and resize the layer. Besides there maybe another texture I want on that layer and I may want the layer to be that size, so again I have to resize the texture externally to make it work. This is a very simple example, the possibilities are endless when you have control over the translation of the texture. Ok, this is the last I will harp on this. Just seems strange that something that, like I said is included with even basic 3D game editors is not present in Carrara. Donnie
