Mental Ray Coordinates "Source:" Menu

[yourfather]

Hi everyone.

 

Im having a problem with my brick texture.

 

Some things you should know:

 

1. I have hundreds of bricks

2. Im making multiple procedural textures to randomly texture the bricks

3. I plan to use a random material by element to apply these textures randomly (hopefully)

 

The Problem:

1. When i try to apply a procedural texture to the bricks, the texture shows the SAME section of the procedural pattern. The same area of the procedural shows up on every brick and its very repetitive.

 

I thought i could use the Material "Coordinates" rollout and select something like "World xyz" to make the pattern less repetitive but i cant find anything on the web about this.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

are you rendering your bricks or just looking at them in the viewport? They don't display correctly in the vp so you'll need to render the image.

or use multiple uvw maps, which might be easier to control
