Hello there,
I spend a while away from Octane, now I've downloaded the demo and I'm trying to built a scene I already did in Modo.
The problem is: I'm applying a wood texture at the floor material, but the direction of the texture is wrong. I need it to be like a planar Y texture, also I need to rotate it in the Y axis. How do I do that?


thank you

You need to UV map your texture onto your object(s) just the way you see fit in your modeling app, prior to exporting.

will octane in the future have an option for uvw mapping or will that always have to be done in the modeling application? its not really a problem, but if its a small change it would be nice to have an option to do it in octane instead of loading modeling app and then exporting model again

Planar would be nice too.

Hi,

UV mapping is quite a lot of work to implement propperly (it also requires very fast display such as OpenGL), and as the 3d modeling applications have advanced implementations already I think it's not that much of a priority at this time.
Basic other types of mappings are something we'll add in the near future though.

A limited (but not difficult to implement) way to do corrections to your UV grid would be to have a transform node that works on UV coords; scale x / y, offset x / y, mirror x / y...

You have to map your texture in your 3d application, like blender or 3dsmax i.e., then rotate there before you export to octane.

Cheers, mib.

Hello, I have a similar problem, I did a road - Uvw mapping - Face in 3ds max and texture roatated Z=90 to get right direction. But if I put it in Octane Z=0 so how Can I rotate it.
How to work with node /add/Transforms/rotation ? if it is solution. I tried it with octane for max but I have same problem.
Or what I need to do ?

Thans a lot for advice !
