Re: HELP...Materials are not continuous!!

so, if you're talking about the green-and-white striped cushion, you can't wrap a texture onto a box in a continuous way. remember wrapping your holiday presents? since your image is a simple stripe, the easiest way to work around this is to apply a planar map to the whole object and then tilt the widget out of the xy plane to get the effect you want on the sides. make sure the widget is bigger than the object (you may need to rework your map in PS). alternately you could use a spherical map (or a surface map if the entire object is one surface) but you'll have some work to do in PS to make it continuous across the seam.

Is there any tutorial for this topic that you are mention Emil???

not that i know of, but haven't looked. it's not hard. here's a pic of the mapping. but again, it's a workaround, it doesn't really wrap the texture, it just spreads it over the box. you can see how distorted it gets in the lower screenshot

Re: HELP...Materials are not continuous!!

and here's a graphic explanation of why you can't do this without distorting the map - it's an unfolded box, black lines outline the surfaces, red lines are folds, green lines are stripes. dotted lines connect from one surface to the next.



you could reduce the distortion by making the spacing between the stripes the same as the thickness of the stripes, but even so you'll get different thicnkeses on the different surfaces.
