Use this plugin to map your marble texture around your columns. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/...lit=UVtools.rb

Yeah! the UV plugin is made for this job.
But mariobro22, you might need to make proportional texture with photo editing app (like Photoshop). Because the tool is stretching the texture.

Re: HELP creating a marble material for a column

if I used the uv plugin would I have to create a vraylinked material? not very familiar with that though so any help would be good?

In SR1, no, since all materials are linked with SU. In the original release, you would only need a linked material if you wanted some extra V-Ray properties along with it. Creating a linked material isn't that hard, just add a linked material and select the base SU material that you want to use. Everything else other than that layer with the red icon is fair game.
