While I agree with notman that blocking the reselling of utility software is also not great, I can understand the greater emphasis on controlling their license.

With tiling textures, you still keep your shell within the 0 to 1 space because the texture tiles. There's no need to go outside, it'll just be the same texture. Tiling just means repeating in a direction. Tiling textures repeat in U and V directions. Trim textures usually repeat in one direction, either U or V or Harry…
Finished Model (textured & rendered): Hey guys, my name is John Kilbride, and I'm a freelance Hard Surface
Artist. I decided I wanted to give a small look into my workflow
