vERTICAL TEXTURES

[simonbratt99]

hi,
Ive just started 3d work in Autocad 2002 (used cad it many years). Think ive got the hang of most of it but...

When i attach textures (materials) to a vertical face the texture is very distorted. Any ideas how i can make it look like it should ?

(these are just the standard textures in the autocad render file)


Thanks alot for any help
Simon

have you applied mapping to the object first ?

umm whats mapping :-)
i dont think so, i just made a 3d face and added a material to it)

All I do when I am applying materials to objects is simply select modify on the material I am applying. Select adjust bitmap, make sure the Tile option and fixed scale options are highlighted.

In the scale windows U & V adjust the scale uniformly, until you get the desired effect.

This is how I do it, Might not be the best way but it works for me

I normally fit the material to the object under the MODIFY section.
This works for what i need with wood and fabric textures etc...

Yeah that’s the simplest way tbh, I find that it stretches the image too much and when rendering a Square tile for instance this can cause viewing issues.
But as you said, It's perfect for ununiform scaled textures.
