Lebjos Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi, I'm having a problem getting the UVW map to work with a wood material. No matter what I do, including rotating the UVW gizmo will align the wood planks the horizontal direction. No matter what I do they seem to always run the long way as opposed to the horizontal direction. Any help would be much appreciated. sorry for the newb question.

Chad Warner Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It'd help to see a screen cap of the object with the UVW showing, and an image of the wood texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebjos Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 yup.. sorry i didn't include those in the original post! I also tried to change the coordinates as well as the angles, so that the planks were up and down in the material viewer thinking that, that would change the direction they are going in the scene, but it only gets distorted instead of changing direction.

Chad Warner Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ok, Unwrap UVW I don't know much about, so I can't help you there. Is there a reason you're using unwrap vs. regular UVW map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebjos Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 no none in particular, well because i couldn't get the regular one to work =) im pretty frustrated so i was trying everything. I can go to the regular one again if you have some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebjos Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 thanks Chad, after i switched back to regular UVW map and tried to re-rotate the gizmo it fixed the problem! thanks for your quick responses. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koper Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 the reason being that you mapped in the wrong axis, in the uvw mod. you can select 'X 'Y or 'Z, by default its 'Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
