A way to make procedural details continue through uv seams ?

gnoop

Like this kind of procedural dents

is there a way in Designer or Painter to make them continue on opposite side of uv split? I know I can paint it manually in screen projection but is there a way to do it automatically? I usually use another UV unwrap without splits and re-bake later . Is it only way?

someone made a node a few years back that did a pretty good job. It was on whatever they had before substance share and I think it was posted on here too.

any reason you dont want to use triplanar projection though?

gnoop

yeah, triplanar would be a compromise probably . Thanks Poopipe. Wonder how this node works although. Triplanar projection too?

poopipe

If memory serves it uses a position map and the UV direction maps to transform the sample points on the source map. not too complicated in principle but I'd expect it to struggle a bit with small UV shells

gnoop

Thanks poopipe . Wonder if 32 bit UV coordinate bake as XY gradient could do same ?

poopipe

you need the position map as well but yeah
