Title: Tile texture distortion
Post by: jeffw on October 11, 2013, 07:26:47 AM

I am using a repeating tile texture with box projection. It works fine on the curved surface but where the model becomes flat on the end the texture becomes distorted (right side of image) which is unacceptable. Any ideas?

Hi Jeff - when you have a change in contour like that, it may get a little tougher to map. Maybe try changing the surface color of the curved or flat surface before exporting? Then you will have separate mapping control over the two surfaces. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it made no difference as you can see here.

Would you care to send the package file, so we can take a look? If so please send to support@luxion.com, using this upload link: keyshot.wetransfer.com

Also, what version are you using?

I just sent an email back with attachment of what I ended up with (check your SPAM if you don't see it). Here's what it should look like (you may want to play with the scale x value a bit more):
