Just a box - Polyloop

Hi,

I am having trouble rendering box. I used a scene that came with Carrara. just so I could do it fast.

I set up a shader with two Rectangle layers with a texture imported on teo sides of the box. When I create the rectangle it is very hard to get it to go edge to edge.

What is the best way to map a box?

Thanks

Unwrap it in the vertex room using cubic would give you the most control, or you can use flat mapping for each side which should get rid of your seam.

Oh now I might actually have to read the manual! That vertex room that sounds interesting. We unwrap in there?
