Interesting.

And I agree, if you're using procedural textures/shaders, NO uvmap can often produce better results than a wrong UVmap (wrong considering the shape of the model)

I'm baffled that a planar map would be the best option here, but apparently, it is :)

Since my own Poser is tied up with a large render.. perhaps someone could try applying a checkered PROCEDURAL map to that cylinder? I'd like to see how the ends are looking.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
