Thanks @poopipe I'll try increase the rear projection. There are a lot of pieces in this project so I have divided it up into 3 sections/ 3 UV Maps.

Copying Alpha Value of Selected Vert (Maxscript)
Hi, I've been trying to copy the alpha value of a selected vert in 3dsmax (via a tool UI) and I'm almost there but something isn't working how I expected. It seems that I need to get the index of that vert in its array and not its ID# ? Here is the code that I have so far for the "Copy Alpha" button; the variable "sV" is…
