I wish to cover a 20x20 area with a single texture.
Is it possible to link the 4 10x10 prims and stretch the texture across the linked set or do I have to split the image into 4 sections and apply them individually to each of the 10x10 prims?
I'm thinking the first option will produce a better result if it is possible, as the second requires some 'fiddling' to ensure no gaps etc…
Thanks
Leon

You can't stretch one single texture across four prims. What you can do is apply the same texture to each prim and stretch each texture,and offset them so each prim shows a quarter of the full image.Does that make sense? lol
You can do all this with the tools provided in SL,no need to cut it about in Photoshop/PSP. You only need to upload one image rather than four.

You could also talk to Jopsy Pendragon or Bob Bunderfeld (I think that's his name.) I think Bob has a script that does that for you. He's a nice guy, look him up...
