Independent UVW map on instanced object

[Gander0]

Any ideas how I can have independent UVW maps on instanced geometry?

 

Many thanks in advance

select the UVW map in the modifier stack and click the "make unique" button.

Put two uvws on the object one with id 1 and the other 2. Make two materials, one with maps in channel 1 and the other in 2. Assign different materials to different objects WITH "propogate to instances" turned off.

 

Should work.

Many thanks for your replies.

 

Brian, I wanted to keep the base geometry instanced which I don't think I can do with the make unique toggle.

 

Peter, Thanks for your solution. I was hoping for a single unique UVW in the stack but this should do the trick

there is a way - right click at the top of your modifier stack and click 'make reference'. You can now drop a unique UVW modifier (or any other modifier) onto that object without it affecting the other instances. Anything below the line in the stack where you make your reference will still affect the other instanced objects, so you can add an edit poly modifier for example to tweak the geometry whilst retaining a unique uvw on top.

 

hope this helps.

That's spot on Pictor, many thanks!
