' This example creates a sphere with a rendermap, and then connects a rendermap 

' using a UV projection to the sphere and regenerates the map.

'

NewScene , false

' Add a sphere to the scene

Set oSphere = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "NurbsSurface" )

' Create a rendermap on the sphere; the AddProp command returns the output 

' object as an XSICollection of 1, so you can get the actual RenderMap as

' a Property object by resetting the object pointer to the first member

' of the returned collection

AddProp "RenderMap", oSphere, , , oRMap

Set oRMap = oRMap(0)

' Specify a destination directory and name for the new image file

' Note: You must specify the image filename with an extension

oRMap.Parameters( "imagefile" ).Value = InstallationPath( siUserPath ) _

			& "\temp\rendermap.pic"

'

' Tip: You can also use the SetValue command instead of accessing the 

' 	parameter through the object model:

' SetValue oSphere & ".RenderMap.imagefile", InstallationPath( siUserPath ) _

' 			& "\temp\rendermap.pic"

'

' Add a texture projection to the sphere and attach the rendermap to it

CreateProjection oSphere, siTxtUV, siTxtDefaultSpherical, sSupport, sProj

SetInstanceDataValue , oRMap.Parameters( "uvprop" ), sProj

'

' Tip: You can also use the SetInstanceDataValue command instead of 

' 	accessing the parameter through the object model:

' SetInstanceDataValue , oSphere & ".RenderMap.uvprop", sProj

'

' Regenerate the rendermap with a tile size of 16
