Revealed - Best Texture Techniques for Curves

In this video, I explain mapping textures onto curves in Blender, starting with sourcing textures and configuring a curve. I demonstrate applying textures, setting up materials, normalizing segments with geometry nodes, and addressing texture stretching for a uniform appearance.

In this video, I explain a method to map textures onto curves using Blender. I start by sourcing appropriate textures from the web, choosing ones suitable for a pipe and a road.
I then demonstrate by adding and configuring a curve in Blender, transforming it into a 3D object, and applying the downloaded textures. I guide you through setting up materials, adjusting texture mapping, and using geometry nodes to normalize curve segments.
I show how to achieve a uniform appearance, handle texture stretching issues, and enhance the visual quality of the final model. I conclude the video by inviting you to subscribe for more tutorials and tips.

i created a wall that when stretched it follow the texture and the top and side also follow with stretching even if extruded
