Getting better with textures but I think the idea of having something to control textures under the surface menu is a must. Here's my ideas, any chance of seeing these in the next update?
1. Add a texture command to the surface menu with Set Texture Repeat/Offset
2. This to take you to the screen we have now for the same command under the object menu, but with these enhancements:
a) Ability to change Remap(ping) to Front (XY), Side (ZY), Top (XZ), Spherical as found ont he Texture Coordinate Editor.
b) The Rotate CW and CCW commands from the Texture Coordinate Editor.
As the Tile and UV offset would affect single surfaces (or groups of) this would be extremely powerful. At object and at surface level, this kind of control would be invaluable.
Here is a picture of the shape and texture control I am trying to make:
Essentially I start off with a simple texture over the whole thing, repeat it four times, then the two triangles (middle surface) I want to alter the texture, either by offset or by repeat setting etc differently to the texture on the two sides.
This is how I have had to do it so far - obect - texture command then use the Texture Coordindate Editor in a best guess fashion with the mouse.
This object is for a game BTW, and this object will be replicated and joined together, along with other objects, so it is important to get the texture positioning precise. Even more so as the texture has joining lines in it, it will stand out a mile with even the slightest mis-alignment.
Hope that explains where i am coming from and why I think it is essential to have more control over textures in Ac3D.
