Hi forum
I am trying to create a grid using repeating strips. Because the elements are identical and have the same orientation, a material using box mapping always displays the exact same texture pattern, which is, of course, not realistic.
Is there a mapping I could use on this object starting from a single material? Or what other solutions could work to make the texture vary across the identical strips?
I found the solution.
- cancel the box mapping of the image texture, set it to mapping channel 1
- in the mapping ribbon of all the object’s object properties, select “unwrap”
- select the entire thing to select all the seams
- select the UV editor in the mapping ribbon
- draw a square on the Cplane to control the mapping, but leave as is. The voodoo-meshes are already spread out on the texture image by default
- change the “UVW repeat” values so that the scale of the texture becomes as desired
