Greetings all!

I was wondering if someone could help me with a few hopefully small but very annoying problems, both concerning textures and placing them on objects:

Problem no 1: I have created an object of about 200 polygons, but when I try to apply a texture on it in the Shader editor session using the "square polygon tool", I get anything but squares on the objects; it seems nigh-impossible to draw a simple square on any surface? Have I misunderstood something about how on is to apply textures on complex objects?

Problem no 2: When I try to place a texture with transparency upon another texture on an object (such as a texture with red text on a blue box, for example), the transparent areas turn out very strange; transparent, but not showing the texture beneath correctly? The manual (for Carrara 2) briefly touches on this problem on page 318, but it does not offer a solution. Does anyone have any idea on this?

Problem no 3: UV mapping using UVMapper - I can get it to work so far as to getting the .obj and the texture back into Carrara, but the texture just won't fit itself on to the object as it is supposed to. Does anyone have any tip here?

Any help whatsoever with any of the problems above would be a huge help!

best regards / Erik Boman

Erik, It would help if you could post an example of how you're trying to apply a square. On your transparency issues, try selecting "light through trransparency" in the render room. I'm not that familiar with UV mapping issues so others will have to help there. I know this is a start so post some of images of your issues so we can help more. -Kix

Thanx Kixum, I'll try and make a picture to post here!
