🎨 Blender Tutorial: Texture Scaling for UVW Mapping... 🎨

In this brief tutorial I'll show you how you can apply a checker pattern and then scale the checker pattern to be larger or smaller.
I struggled a lot with this as the method of doing it is different in 3DS Max.

thanks man, you just saved me multiple hours of fails in PS

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know, Thanks!!!

[@DarkAutumn3D]

No problem 😊

[@czachar]

Great tutorial. Really helped getting me started with a project I'm working on. You're a total expert on this one!

[@erichbrill9639]

Guys, just select the area you wanna extend, go to options above the y,z&x axis and hit "correct face attributes". Now you can pull, and the uv mapping will continue automatically.

How to accurately apply a 2mx2m quixel texture to a model? I'm looking for a tips to do not using approximatively the mapping scale values but get real world map size. Any suggestion?

[@theprojectmanager3016]

i have the same question ¿Do you have an answer?

[@JeanMichelAZie]

@@theprojectmanager3016 For now I use to create a 2mx2m mesh plan (Shift A + Plan), Mesure his density then apply the same density to the other mesh where I wanna have my 2mx2m quixel texture

[@fificolores2540]

Cool!

[@Geolas88]

How do I export this if I want to use it in my OpenGL project?
Changing the texture this way doesnt seem to do anything when exporting it as an .obj file, instead it ends up horribly stretched

perfect

[@naenjamal4827]

i BLOODY agree with you, in MAX its lot easier.... i kept thinking all this years why the so call "BLENDER easy to use kinda attitude in RUclips" its so much pain in tha HEAD!!....i finally found YOU to confirm that to me.🤣

[@t.sandwich]

holy shit thank you lol

[@daleanderson1727]

THis helped, thanks. I'm still having trouble wrapping / scaling a texture onto an orb.

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Hmmm there are multiple ways to unwrap spheres/orbs but I do agree that it can be a bit tricky to get right. Is it a sphere that you're trying to unwrap?

[@daleanderson1727]

@@DarkAutumn3D I would like to say that I resolved my issue through diligence and an exacting eye for detail. But that's just hogwash. I DID get the problem solved but to be honest I'm not entirely sure how I did it. I'm just going to score it up to good luck because I haven't had the problem since. Whew!

[@jaanov6094]

Thank you

[@pixelroutine4609]

This does not work if you apply scaling to a texture then export the model to Unity as an FBX. The textures on the model has scaling that is way off as if you didn't apply the mapping and texture coordinates. Only scaling in UV editor works.

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Well yes but this is simply to help people see the checkered boxes more clearly. I personally like to work with medium sized boxes. This simply allows you to change the size. The rest is down to the person UV mapping their model.

[@Clydewuf_]

Thanks

[@GimmeSomeChicken]

Hi really helpful but somehow when I export my project as FBX file the size of the texture remains the same as before?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Could you elaborate so I can help you more? Have you UVW unwrapped it and looked at the UV in the UV editor?

[@linksys30000]

thank you

[@DarkAutumn3D]

No problem at all.

[@muratbilgen4853]

Thank you so much for this video. I want to ask, I am export with glb/gltf format and show the same texture scaling in RoadRunnder. But the scalign can not see in RoadRunner. Please help

[@DarkAutumn3D]

What scale are you exporting the texture at?

[@muratbilgen4853]

@@DarkAutumn3D the scaling is 10. I can see The texture in RoadRunner. But the scale what I give in Blender, is not coming in RoadRunner.

[@agdaltarek]

@@muratbilgen4853 did you found the solution to this, i have the same issue when exporting to another tool.

[@yashthakur3279]

have a query about it if we done mapping in nodes and take this mesh in substance does this texel desnity will work same ?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Obviously you'd need to UVW unwrap the model but I have personally used this method and the texel density doesn't change. This method is for people who don't want to work with giant squares when UVW unwrapping. The smaller the part of a model is in the UV space, the less texel density it has. I use this method as a guide so that I can make sure that as much of my model is evenly UVW unwrapped as possible/similar in size.

[@MarkSinister]

Thanks for this tutorial. I was wondering if there was a way to make images Tile?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Have you tried using a tileable texture? I'm not being sarcastic - it's a genuine question. What sort of thing did you have in mind?

[@MarkSinister]

@@DarkAutumn3D No didn't know that was an option. I figure if you had a texture you would have option to do things with that texture. I'm new to Blender so I can't fathom the thought of having to specifically looks for a tileable texture.
I come in to the program thinking cool I applied the texture. Then I go look in the parameters for the option to make it tile, make it rotate, make it offset, etc, etc.... But it doesn't do anything when you move the dials. Go figure you have to use a Tileable Texture. 😕 By the way where do you even find that?

[@skillzorskillsson8228]

@@MarkSinister If you draw your own texture you can make it tileable. But otherwise you have to look for tileable textures online. Optionally you can use Photoshop or probably gimp works too i guess and there you can make textures tileable

[@MarkSinister]

@@skillzorskillsson8228 Well I'm not looking to make my own in photoshop. I was looking for the option to tile any image and offset any tiled image in blender. The program isn't really user friendly when it comes to materials to be honest.

I can’t get the z-scale to work. I’m working on mapping trees and I can’t get the bark texture to tile in the z axis. Any ideas?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

I'd have to see the model or pictures of it to demonstrate what you mean. It all depends on what you've done so far.. Are you texturing it within Blender or using third party software? I know that wood textures can be a little tricky to tile due to their nature (no pun intended.) Feel free to email at [e-mail] and I'll try to help you further. Cheers!

Just scroll on your middle mouse wheel like you would in the 3D window.

How do I make textures scale apon scaling the actual object? so its not stretching the texture

[@bluefoosh]

hearts the comment but doesn't answer 😭

[@fyuumi_uncut8871]

thx

[@danieletognozzi7641]

Thanks for the tutorial, but given how essential uv scaling is, can it be that this is the only way to do that? it´s a hell of a lot of work for each single part... so frustrating

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Hey and thanks for the comment. There has since been a free addon released that makes this much much easier and it literally takes less than 2 seconds to implement it.

He provides a brief tutorial on how to use it, towards the bottom of the page.

[@dax_prime1053]

would it really be that hard to put a scale slider in the material properties??

[@DarkAutumn3D]

I know right? I used 3DS Max for over a decade and it was so easy with that software. Lol.

Did you UVW unwrap your model? Models need to be UVW unwrapped.

merci

[@patriciafremgen3966]

No this did not help me. I wanted to figure out how to do a tile pattern on repeat. I have some image squares that make seamless patterns but they all share the same UV I have 6 to an image to help save space. How can I get it to pick up a portion of the UV and Repeat that portion without adding extra seams?

[@DarkAutumn3D]

If you elaborate more on what you mean then I can try to help you further. Do you mean that you have 6 images filling up the UV space? What sort of object is it that you're working with?

Dear Bro: I just had a question for you. I'm trying to do your tutorial. I'm using blender 3.0. Is the heading UV map the same as Mapping? I can't find the heading " Mapping" Please write back as soon as you can . Thanks again. I hope to hear from you soon.

I'm using 3.0 as well and just double checked.. Are you pressing SHIFT+A then clicking VECTOR then Mapping? 🤔

It is useless, because it resizes only the texture object, not the UV texture.

This is meant only as a guide to ensure that certain texture parts are the same pixel density/size.
