how to offset texture?

NDK

Hello I'm a noobie wandering how can move/offset a texture along the material? I know how to scale a texture, but I need just to move it at some direction. I would be very happy if someone help!

The Panner node is what you are looking for. Put it in the UV input of your texture sample node.

NDK

Thank you! But I don't want to be animated - can I just move it at some direction and be static?

JamesWild

Yeah.

TextureSample <- Add <- TextureCoordinate
_____________________<- 2-Constant (hold 2 and click)

Sorry, but I don't unerstand..
TextureCoordinate can make the tesxture tiled and this don't help.
About Constand - it changes the color somehow.. I dont understand

If you add (by using the Add node) to texture coordinates, it pans the texture. Then just plug the add node into the texture's UV input.

NDK

Thank you all for doing this, but again I don't understand what must be made . Like I said I'm a serious noobie and probably I don't know something very essential and there is the problem.
Here is what I made so far trying to do what JamesWild told me: http://i.imgur.com/mPT45.jpg
On TexCoord I can only make the texture tiled and on Constand I'm doing nothing

Put some values to scroll by in that constant. At the moment you are scrolling 0, 0. It's in UV space so 1 = a full scroll around.

Try 0.5 or 0.3 or 0.7.

You might want to check out the tutorials on this page:

Especially the Material Editor – Examples 1 tutorial, which mentions Panner.

Ahh finaly I made it!
I don't find yet the logic of this red and green how is changing the position, nor of the A B output, but I guess I need to read more tutorials.
Thank you JamesWild and all again for helping me out!

Red is X axis and green is Y.

The "A" and "B" in the Add node are just in the inputs it takes and then adds their values together.

The colour shown is just a representation of the two raw values. There's no such thing as a colour in shaders - just a multi-channel value interpreted as one. You can multiply the TextureCoordinate to scale the sample too. Note that (hit space to refresh all shown) the TextureCoordinate block is basically two overlaid gradients.
