Arf!...can't correctly applicate a bitmap

[pnavarra]

Hi,
I'd like to applicate a bitmap to a rectangular face.
And I can't find how to adapt my bitmap to my face.
I switch parameters like repeat and offset in difuse but...I can't find solution!

What UVW mode are you using? You cannot use Explicit Map Channel unless there is a map applied to the sketchup face via a sketchup material (I realize this is a pain in the ass but we can't get around that at the moment due to how Sketchup handles uv generation - we're still working on a workaround ).

If you just want to apply it to a rectanglular face then you could use the Planar World XYZ UVW mode. Then select how many times you would like it to repeat along the x and y direction. If you want to make the map repeat based on some physical width/height then you would need to set the repeat to be 1/length in scene units, i.e. if I have a texture that I want to repeat every 10' x 10' and my scene units are in inches I would set the value to be 1/120, or 0.0083. We're going to add UI to make that situation easier to handle - but for now we kinda need to hack it.

Since our UV stuff is really only meant for the most simple of cases, I would suggest using Sketchup to apply bitmaps that need complicated UV operations. Then create a linked material in VRay to use that Sketchup material. But if you only need to provide a width/height or repeat then our editor should suffice.

Speedy joeb!

Hi,
First : congratulations for your speedy answer.
Second : i'll try in Planar World XYZ UVW mode and testing your parameters.
I'll try simple applicate texture via Skp.

Many thx.

That's the hell I described refering texture scaling post and ... cool an answer I understand...
