1. [3Ds Max / UE4] How to properly tile materials on non-modular walls?

   Hey, guys. I tried looking for a similar question out there, but I couldn't find anything too helpful. Basically, I'm trying to create a small room in UE4 using non-modular architecture. The walls are all one piece while the floor and ceiling are separate. I usually work with modular pieces, so I'm not sure how to approach…

   ^ A triplanar-mapping shader is more expensive, though (if that's what you mean?)

   Personally I'd just use world space UVs inside the actual material in UE 4. Then you could just ignore the UVs.

   This is the correct way to go about it.

   You can ignore 0-1 UV space and snap all the pieces vertically and lay them out horizontally in one long strip. You can also scale them all up if you like to gain a lot of texel space.(not a big deal as you're using tiling textures)
