🎨 Blender Tutorial: Texture Scaling for UVW Mapping... 🎨

In this brief tutorial I'll show you how you can apply a checker pattern and then scale the checker pattern to be larger or smaller.
I struggled a lot with this as the method of doing it is different in 3DS Max.

How do you keep the same texture size 1 cm x1 cm on two different cubes cube A size 10x10 and cube B 30 x30 thanks for the help

How to accurately apply a 2mx2m quixel texture to a model? I'm looking for a tips to do not using approximatively the mapping scale values but get real world map size. Any suggestion?

[@theprojectmanager3016]

i have the same question ¿Do you have an answer?

[@JeanMichelAZie]

@@theprojectmanager3016 For now I use to create a 2mx2m mesh plan (Shift A + Plan), Mesure his density then apply the same density to the other mesh where I wanna have my 2mx2m quixel texture

thanks just what i needed. watching a tut and the guy just started mapping without any note as to where he got this material

How do I export this if I want to use it in my OpenGL project?
Changing the texture this way doesnt seem to do anything when exporting it as an .obj file, instead it ends up horribly stretched

Guys, just select the area you wanna extend, go to options above the y,z&x axis and hit "correct face attributes". Now you can pull, and the uv mapping will continue automatically.

[@GimmeSomeChicken]

Hi really helpful but somehow when I export my project as FBX file the size of the texture remains the same as before?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Could you elaborate so I can help you more? Have you UVW unwrapped it and looked at the UV in the UV editor?

[@danieletognozzi7641]

Thanks for the tutorial, but given how essential uv scaling is, can it be that this is the only way to do that? it´s a hell of a lot of work for each single part... so frustrating

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Hey and thanks for the comment. There has since been a free addon released that makes this much much easier and it literally takes less than 2 seconds to implement it.

I can’t get the z-scale to work. I’m working on mapping trees and I can’t get the bark texture to tile in the z axis. Any ideas?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

I'd have to see the model or pictures of it to demonstrate what you mean. It all depends on what you've done so far.. Are you texturing it within Blender or using third party software? I know that wood textures can be a little tricky to tile due to their nature (no pun intended.) Feel free to email at [e-mail] and I'll try to help you further. Cheers!

Hello Friend, thanks for the report. I got the plugin. You were right, of course!!! Resizing the texture is now very fast. Unfortunately I wasn't able to install the plugin on version 4.2, I tried with "install from disk" but it didn't work. I don't know this new version of Blender well but I saw that they changed the method for installing add-ons. I tried with version 3.3 and everything worked great! Thank you

[@yashthakur3279]

have a query about it if we done mapping in nodes and take this mesh in substance does this texel desnity will work same ?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Obviously you'd need to UVW unwrap the model but I have personally used this method and the texel density doesn't change. This method is for people who don't want to work with giant squares when UVW unwrapping. The smaller the part of a model is in the UV space, the less texel density it has. I use this method as a guide so that I can make sure that as much of my model is evenly UVW unwrapped as possible/similar in size.

THis helped, thanks. I'm still having trouble wrapping / scaling a texture onto an orb.

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Hmmm there are multiple ways to unwrap spheres/orbs but I do agree that it can be a bit tricky to get right. Is it a sphere that you're trying to unwrap?

[@daleanderson1727]

@@DarkAutumn3D I would like to say that I resolved my issue through diligence and an exacting eye for detail. But that's just hogwash. I DID get the problem solved but to be honest I'm not entirely sure how I did it. I'm just going to score it up to good luck because I haven't had the problem since. Whew!

would it really be that hard to put a scale slider in the material properties??

No this did not help me. I wanted to figure out how to do a tile pattern on repeat. I have some image squares that make seamless patterns but they all share the same UV I have 6 to an image to help save space. How can I get it to pick up a portion of the UV and Repeat that portion without adding extra seams?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

If you elaborate more on what you mean then I can try to help you further. Do you mean that you have 6 images filling up the UV space? What sort of object is it that you're working with?
