and maybe tell me how to fix it. These are two shots of opposite sides of the same prim:

as you can see, on one side of the triangle part the texture is fine, on the opposite side, it looks like crap. Anyway I can fix this?

It is hard to tell from the images, but I think you need to use "planar textures" and there are few who explain stuff as well as Chosen.

Good luck.

Thanks, planar mapping is great, it even gets rid of that weirdness when you do a cut and it tries to jam a lot of texture into the end.
