Scene #7 has now been released, and you can see a preview of Scene #8, which is currently burning away in Bryce on my other computer. I estimate the scene will be finished in about 16 hours, give or take a few. The 128x96 preview image alone took (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad.ray)

Okay, I got it to work! I hadn't known that the picture was crammed into the 0,0/1,1 square. So the mass of gray pixels was in fact the picture, tiled beyond recognition. :) Thanks again, Coby! --Ryan (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hmmm, a mess of grey pixels isn't good, but at least something appeared on the object so that's a start. I think the next step would be to check the scaling and translation of the map. Here's a pertinent paragraph from the docs: // By default, the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
