Image Wrapping on Walls

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 13:55:10 GMT

I have a simple four walled model and would like to wrap an image continually around the four walls. If this is possible, what is the best way to do this? I dont want to put the image individually onto each wall and then have to align it to match the one next to it.

Cheers

Sorry, but there's no way to do that.

But making four different wall materials, each piece corresponding to each wall dimension and the using the Align 3D Texture feature isn't that bad.

Is that the only solution?

A possible solution - calculate the total image length needed by adding the length of all 4 walls together. Set up a new material with the correct length.

Temporarily line up all 4 walls in a straight line in the order the image will appear. Use 'Align 3d texture' - 'Set Origin' and specify the base point as the bottom left point of the furthest left wall for each of the individual walls. It may be best to 'Set Direction' as well to ensure it works properly.

When you move and rotate the walls to the correct position they 'should' remember the origin and display correctly.
