Sandwich! How can you texture in Rhino? (That is Rhino, isn't it?)

Little did you know, Guinan's daddy was playing about in the machine shed one day...


Ok, I can see where you're coming from. I guess I never thought of it that way because I never saw the series with anything even approximating consistancy. :-/ Oh well, she's not used in such a manner in Vendetta - I don't think. I haven't really read it with that aspect in mind, but I think I should be able to tell after reading it a dozen times. :p Go read it - it's quite the novel. :)

Nope, nope, nope. :D I'll give everyone a hint: ask Corsair. :D

Yes, that's Rhino. You can apply a single texture to each face, and with v2 you can also apply a bumpmap. But you have absolutely no choice as to how it gets applied to that face, no UV mapping, nothing.

To answer your question, you can choose a texture with a polygon selected, hit the multicolored ring button - object properties, IIRC.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.
