VrayPlane Tiling

[jujubee]

I love the Vrayplane! My only issue is that if I assign a material it gets checkered. Is there a way to add some sort of tiling controls even though it is considered infinite?

hehe that would be cool, but not sure how it could be done. How do you measure the dimension of an infinite object?

[jujubee]

I don't know - how does Vray/Max decide to checker it in the first place...

Something like this would be cool https://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~sorkine/co...ang_tiles.html

Be best if discreet built it into the bitmap controls though.

true, you can adjust the tiling in the bitmap for some amount of control...can only go so low though...

Have you tried the UVW map modifier? You can set your tiling size using that

[percydaman]

afaik, you cant attach a uvw map modifier on the vray plane. I tried.

Wouldn't the easies way be to have a u and v spinner that sets units in max world space for mapping the plane?

This is what TextureShaker does, you should check it out

A little bit off-topic, but if you're talking about random tiling texture generation instead of UV coordinates on the Vrayplane, then this tool is pretty cool and free (registration required tho):
