tiled pattern across an organic shape?

[eldee]

First- save a copy of your ztl just in case something goes wrong during this process.

1.) Drop down to subd level 1 and click Tool->Texture->UVTile. This remakes your UVs which is necessary for this process, but you will reimport the good ones at the end.

2.) Make sure the mesh has enough geometry to support the texture information

3.) Select the texture you want to repeat and press Tool->Texture->Txr>Col.

4.) Go back to level 1 and Import your original model to get your UV's back.

5.) Drop your polypaint to texture using Tool->Texture->Col>Txr

hope that helps

edit: also, i realized you could be talking about getting a nice tiled *sculpted* pattern across an object. You can do this using the same method. Once you have the tiled alpha on the mesh, you can mask by intensity, and further mask off areas you don't want to be affected, and then run a deform->displace on the unmasked area.

Yep, that did it for me LD, I was referring to both color and sculpted patterns. Thank you :)
