Complex Texture Alignment....

Reese

<div class="IPBDescription">seems to be beyond me :)</div> Included is a picture of some vertex-manipulated infestation i'm working on. Basically I want it to look like the infestation grew up the wall and broke through a window creating access to another room. My problem is that the texturing looks awful. Portions of it look great, but any large angle changes between two faces leads to things being horribly off. Any suggestions for how I can fix it?

happens me all time, i find this is an easy way of dealing with it.
hope it helps

Left: 3 brushes Right: two brushes

ok, so you're saying that I should try to merge any triangles that can be turned into valid, more-than-a-triangle shapes. that makes sense. I dunno how much it will help something this complicated, but it's worth a shot (maybe i'll save a few faces... with cordon state i'm up to 8k planes in just that one area <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

What? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I didn't understand that. what i meant was....

when you have a "triangle" and the texture is being stretched then
make the triangle into two brushes(left part of the picture) instead of one(right part of the picture) and the texture will
fit nicely on to the two brushes but look like one brush!!!

ahh, gotcha. Thanks for the tip.

In texture aligment tool (VHE) check "world" or "face" checkbox, right plane must be selected
