      Polygon Texturing consists of:

                  Introduction
                  Preparing for the lesson
                  Lesson 1: UV texture mapping
                      Introduction
                      Creating a cracker box model
                      Applying a texture map to a polygon mesh
                      Viewing UVs in the UV Texture Editor
                      Mapping UV texture coordinates
                      Working with UVs in the UV Texture Editor
                      Beyond the lesson

We were able to do the entire lesson this morning in class, but it took
me about 3 hours to read through and do the lesson and take notes
and understand the explanations of the concepts.

Please read over and review what we did today, if you get the chance
before Monday.

Reminder:  the web page is out of date, because of a faculty web server
            problem that should be fixed by sometime tomorrow.

            At that time, the have promised that our files will be
            recovered, or rather promised the most recent version
            of our files as they were in the early hours of October 29th,
            Thursday morning, will MAYBE be recovered.

            I am waiting to see if that happens before the web page
            gets updated further!
