Quick question about tiling textures for environment.

ahendowski

So I did a quick test with brick, to see how tiling textures worked... How do you exactly tile the texture, in both marmoset and UE4? Do you just spread the UV's way past the borders? Do I manually tile it in photoshop then apply? Is it bad exiting the UV borders? I'm assuming there's a way to get some kind of multiplier node on UE4, or any game program, but what about if I want to do a quick render in Marmoset? do I just stretch my UV's out? ahhh so many questions!

Here's some pictures of my example:





That UV layout just bugs the hell out of me. How would I tile it?

Well in UE4 you can tile it with a texcoords node, but in Marmoset I don't think you can tile it. But really, when using tiling textures, your UV map will be a mess, especially when you use multiple textures on one prop.

What do you mean a mess? Got an example or anything so I can visually see? Will it look like something I posted?

Thanks.

Also when you say it'll be a mess, do you mean in UE4 it'll be a mess as well? Or just marmoset?

Heres uvs for a building I did, using tiling textures.



And you can't set the tiling in marmoset (AFAIK) so you will need to uwnrap accordingly to that. But In UE4 you can change the tiling of the textures, so you won't need really large UV islands like I have.

That's perfect!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!!
