Well, I checked the UV maps for the chess pieces and there is overlapping all over the place.  You've already answered a bunch of questions, and I don' t want to take up any more of your time tonight, so is there a Carrara UV Mapping tutorial anywhere that you can point me to?

I found one on the web about half a year ago, but that was for Carrara 5 and was no longer applicable.  I also watched your C6 and C7 series on VTC.com (great tutorials; learned much of my Carrara there), but I no longer have a subscription.

So if you know of any C7 UV Map tutorials off the top of your head, that would be great.
If not, thanks so much for all the help you've already given me.
