[Maya] have different tileable parts on ONE texture

Alphavader · Jun 2013

Hey gurls,

i just watched the digital tutor about mutiple uv sets - but it didnt answer my question.. after searching - i decided to start a thread.

i have one texture with different parts (tileable, trim , rare etc. )
Is it possible to tile one part of the same texture in another uv set ?
For example i need the bricks to be repead twice - can i say with the 2d node or something to repead that specal part in another uv set ?
Does marmoset support different sets ?

Thanks.

I can't really offer any advice on your question, but i can offer an alternative?
You can add extra geometry to tile textures, assuming you aren't on a tight poly count budget?

Hmm yes i thougt about scaling and adding more geo.. but i have a cound budget to hold on

Thought there is an easy way - thanks !

Maybe someone has the answer here;)

I have seen stuff like this done in UDK, but it never worked quite right having some weird seams and stuff.

The only way to use tileable and unique textures in the same image file is to arrange them so the tileables only tile in one direction and span across the whole texture in that directon. That leave space to add other tileables or unique textures in the non tiling direction. In the image below, the stone textures tile only in U, so we can just stack additional textures in the V direction.

There's also a nasty technique to flip / mirror the UV's to create a pseudo tiling, but that's so old school it hurts,
