Re: UV space-texturing question

[Michal Doniec <doniecm(at)gmail.com>]

Thanks Bernard,

I tried it before but I was unsuccessful, but I tried it again today - 
it works. There is no transform UV per se on texture coordinate edit 
mode, but I can use UV remap fields  - trouble was that my brain (or was 
that XSI) somehow calculated it backwards. To get 1 to 2 U coords space, 
I have to input -2 -1 in UV remap fields. (frist row)

UV remap can be also found on standard Image node under Advanced tab... 
since this is local for every image, problem is solved. I knew it was 
something simple.

Thanks a lot again.
