yes, 3d textures don't require UV maps.vimaxus wrote:sound very good here too!
does 3d means the brick texture will be independent of the imported mapping?
it would be great to have the option to ignore the mapping on all the materials and redo it all in a common scale because sometimes you miss a few objects and then the scale is always different. on the objects you forgot. this way the wood for instance is guaranteed to have a real(ish) scale in all the scene.
EDIT:
as for an example, think of a curtain or any mesh that you can see through when you look at it perpendicular but not at an angle, its something like an extruded grid.
If I'm not mistaken, this used to be the trick to fake volumetric material.radiance wrote:why would you need this ? can you give me a particular example in practice ? i find it difficult to picture a use for this.vimaxus wrote:3ds max falloff works like mix between the two values you give (or textures or materials even) and the mix percentage is the angle between the camera and the surface but expressed as a percentage (0-90degrees=>0-1) so if you give black-white values you get a gradient from black perpendicular to white tangent but in a different formula than fresnel (it changes much faster)
