Offset is a valuable tool as well, especially with textures that have an alpha channel and may have had
the image placed just a little too close to the edges. Primarily, the Texture Offset will slide your texture
along the horizontal (U) or vertical (V) axis. If you turn on Select Face while doing the offset, you will see
the center of the texture moving back and forth when you run the spinners. It is always wise to make sure
that any texture with a transparent background, like a tree or bush, does not go all the way to the edge of
the image. It is best to leave a 4- to 6-pixel gap at the edge so you are not ddling too much with Offset
modication of the texture on your form.
