Now that I am having great sucess at generating true texture areas,I would like to place 3D objecte within Is their a program that allows one to view the textured area whem placing and adding 3D objects.Richard;

freeware FSSC and Airport both allow you to use a bmp as a background to build on. You have to calibrate your photo.If you make your objects in GMAX, I find great success pasting a 1m/pixel image on a box and building on that. When exporting, you select the box, invert the selection, and export selected.
