Micro Mesh nightmare

Chase

Getting use to micro mesh but so far having some issues. When I pick my micro mesh obj I get some large gaps in random areas.



Here's an even more extreme example with an oval micro mesh instead of the circle.



Also brings up another issue. Trying to use the Spin Edge feature, but I can't select the individual poly faces to rotate them. Even on a lower dense mesh I can't select the poly faces.

What's the purpose of the mesh ?

I would use an alpha for that, would save you a shit load of work and hassle !

Neox

Never used MicroMesh but does it use UVs? How do they look?

repete - this is for a bake for a game model. i was going to use an alpha but i wanted to give this micromesh thing a shot. it's become too much of a headache. i just modeled it instead in about 10 minutes!

Neox - it does use uv's as well as without. however, you get shoddy results without uv's. for this mesh it was just quick planar as it's just the one face. if you ever try micromesh out please let me know your results!

here's that back part baked down after i modeled it

micromesh is just nice because your mesh's density impacts the tiling amount of the pattern you use. it's suppose to be easy to use....but i'm not finding that to be the case.
