Face mapping
I am still waiting for the licence number to arrive, but in the meantime I have been getting used to the controls and seeing what it can do. Is it possible to apply a texture to one face, on a mesh with several faces, i.e. windows and walls in a building, using only one window image and one wall image?
So far it looks like it will do me very well. Thanks Dicon |

Re: Face mapping
Yes.
You'll find the Texture Coordinate Editor to be best of class. No other 3D application I've ever seen has reduced texturing to almost an afterthought. In any other program, it's a harrowing, jump-through-hoops experience to texture an object with a graphic. In AC3D it's intuitive, quick, accurate and very powerful. Suffice it to say, you'll be able to "skin" your house with repeating/recurring surfaces, no problem.
