I'm working with the modeling feature and was trying to Map a sphere with an image I had. Problem was that it tiled it instead of maping it. It is on Repeat #1 but it repeates it at least 10 times. I can increase that number for it to multiply even more but I'm trying to do the oppoiste. I noticed that Material in the material folder comes as a MAT file how to I convert the Jpg into A MAT file so that it will not tile as it did? Or how can I scale the image on the surface so that it will not do what it was doing?

Sean,

An image that is used as a map for a sphere will have to have certain proportions or it will be stretched.

I will presume at this point that your application method is 'spherical' and not planar or cylinder...

Last thing, spherical mapping will create what appears to be a tiled decal image, but it's just A:Ms way of keeping seams from showing.

Here is the map I used for a quick test.
[attachmentid=16863]

Here is the result... Notice that the decal appears to have tiled... but the sphere only has one tile on it.
[attachmentid=16864]

If you get repetition of the same image on your sphere even if the repreat is set to 1, that is probably because you used a patch image. In this case, the image is applied to every individual patch on your model. You want to use either a decal with a spherical projection on your model or a projection plugin based material with your image in it.
