Introduction to UV Mapping in CX 7, Part 1

Below is the texture map I use in this video, so you can try this yourself.

    When I select the videos for Parts 2, 3 & 4 the video for Part 1 is presented.

  2. I just tried them, and I get the correct video for each. Maybe you should quit your browser, clear your cache, try a different browser… something to try to force your browser to behave better. I find if I watch a number of videos in one browser session, eventually strange things begin to happen that can be cleared up by quitting ad relaunching.

    Jean,
    When I select “Part 4”, the link takes me to Part 1 video. Emptying the cache makes no difference. I think you may have a bad link.
