Re: UV mapping? 2005-04-08 - By Mike Moir

Dean,
When you enter the shader room for one of the shutters , you get a pop-up
window that asks you to "Create a new master" or "edit the master" . Choose
Edit the master shader then all objects that use that shader will get
edited. You can also use "Reference shaders" too.
