Unwraping a curved surface to a flat texture?

biofrost

What I am trying to do is unwrap this corner piece and use the same texture for the floor that is going straight. It seems like no matter what I do I end up with horrid stretching. Is there any way around this or will I have to create a separate texture for this piece.(Trying to reuse as many textures as possible)

the bend you have there is probably too sharp to properly unwrap a straight texture onto it - It'd be easier to just make a corner texture for it.

You can use the same texture - I had the same issue a while back until I can across this post in this thread -http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87797&page=2 - go to the 65th post and it does give a good example. I ended up changing the corner a bit more like the example with a rounded corner instead of the point like you have.

go down about halfway to the bit about using bend modifier it's almost the exact same situation
