I wanted to match mapping from one object to another (these object are practicly the same, the only differency is the way how objects are cut - but… both objects are joined into one open polysurface)
After using Match Mapping and the same texture, objects should look the same, right? (Last time I used Match Mapping, I had the same issue, but after some time and a lot of fails it worked somehow)
Now I am not able to fix it and run out of ideas. This is the result I have after few hours of trying. Objects have the same mapping channel, UV map, same texture…
I want the object on the left look like the object on the right.
Hi @Kateřina
Very much depends on the geometry and how it’s mapped - but first and foremost, the two objects need to occupy the same space when the matching is done, since mapping is a form of projection. So basically the two of them need to be on top of each other. Post the file for more help.

This was a tricky one. Although the texture looked right on polysrf 01. There was something terribly wrong with those UVs and as a result MatchMapping wasn’t working. The polysrf needed to be unwrapped again and constraints used as shown in the editor. I think maybe the arm cutouts had been collapsed into one point each. I have no idea where the back was too. When unwrapped again, polysrf 01 can be used for the mapping of polysrf 26.
thank you for your advice. I was hoping not to do the UV mapping again, becauce I don’t want to edit the texture. In the texture, there is front and the back, all in one.
I have one more question. Do you think,that the result of polysurface 26 can be caused because of using match mapping multiple times? There was 3-4 previous models, and I used match mapping of the very first model to others, so I didn’t have to recreate the texture every time.
Hi! I just wanted to inform both of you, that I solved the problem!
The issue was in the units.. polysrf 01 was created in file in metres, and the “older“ polysrf 26 was in file in mm. I opened a new file, set units on metres, import polysrf 01, than import polysrf 26. After that Match mapping worked perfectly!
I moved them to see the difference.
