Tutorial movie - making a simple textured pyramid

[Andy]

Sergio Santagada sent this tutorial movie. This shows the construction of a simple textured pyramid. It neatly demonstrates how the TCE (Texture Coordinate Editor) can be used to texture map low poly models so they look great.

Andy,

Your textured pyramid movie breaks down on my system, and an error report sending is offered. This happens both when I look at it in IE7 and when I download the movie and watch it in Quicktime. It breaks down just after you align the second vertex of the pyramid on the texture.

I have WinXP SP2 which is quite up to date and an uptodate AMD processor 2.2Mhz.

Same thing happens to me. I use Firefox 2 on win xp pro.

I downloaded it and it plays fine in quicktime until the texturing is about done (Ithink ; ]) and stops with a buffer over run. What I saw looked great, I have never used the vertices for texturing before.
