Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D Problem with Material

  • Problem with Material

    Posted by David Alex on July 3, 2012 at 8:09 am

    Hello!
    So I’m trying to texture this modified cylinder with tiles, and I’m getting some very weird weirdness with the material. Some areas it looks big, others it looks small.
    Attached the C4D file from R12:
    4353_materialproblem.c4d.zip

    Would appreciate the help! Thanks in advance

    You are using UVW Projection (click the material tag on the object). This is directly related to the mesh… some polygons are bigger than others so the material is stretching to fit. Change the Projection to Cubic and it will tile evenly.

    Wow thanks! For some reason I assumed Cubic wouldn’t move with the object.
    Thanks for the learnings 😀
