Multiple tiled textures on the same texture plate (Max)
null
So, this is something that i've had a difficult time figuring out... and I've seen it talked about before but for the life of me i can't figure out how to do it myself.
(yes, i know this is something that i should have learned early on but for whatever reason i haven't, unfortunately.)
What i'm hoping to do is to use one texture plate for multiple assets in a game engine. I've seen people using Max to take one plate and have multiple objects on it. For single, billboard-style objects i have had no problem but when it comes to making them tile, they will tile, but with all of the texture plate and not just the section i've determined that i would like to have tile.
I know this seems like a really noob question to some but I still can't honestly say i know how to do it. Can you point me in the right direction?

like, if you atlas an object (put what would usually be more than one texture into a single sheet), and part of it must tile, the geometry will need to be cut and mapped accordingly. If this is what you mean?
