Re: Poor texture mapping with fabrics

Hi Jon,

I've tried with no luck. The panels I'm mapping to are square and rectangular (vertical). With the same texture applied to both, the square looks really good, but the vertical panel looks really stretched vertically. So I created another texture that's vertical and applied that, but it still looks the same way!? Can't figure it out.

Is there any rules for size approximations with the texture of a fabric as applied to the model? In other words, how do I know that the texture of the fabric is to scale when it's applied? Does it generally stretch to fit the area, or does it tile?

I'm a newbie at this and there's not a whole lot out there. I got Serge's DVD which was good, but there's still a lot to know.

Thanks

Dave
