thanks again david, i'M very thankfull for the time you spent on my
problems - hoping that i can help you some times too.

how do you quadrupled the density ?

stretchy base Texure ? one which isn'T looking very bad when streched ?
well i could - this is the way i do it right now - tile a base texture over
