Texture Mapping

[knight42]

You want flat projection, and do different textures for the sides. The X and Y tiling applies to all sides.

I might be wrong though.

I don't understand, a cube have 3 axis...
Why in a cubic map projection I can't set the Z value?

Knight I don' t want make a flat projection, in my scene there's a lot of wall............ :-(

The problem is in the cubic mapping.

u have to make polygon selections and convert them to selection tags for texturing with flat mapping each side one by one, ore u need to tweek the uvs in the uv editor, but first make slection tags and flat mappings.

While admittedly a complete noob at C4D and textures in particular, I have encountered this problem as well. You don't necessarily need to create flat mappings for every side. If cubic is working for most of the surface, just create a selection set for the problem area and give it its own special flat mapping to bring it in line with the rest. Still a hassle, but a bit more workable than redoing it all.

Well I understood,
no way for cubic projection. :-(

A lot of job for me now.

Thank you

Not really alot of work, like Iggy said, just put in a couple more Flat projection tags for the problem sides. Unless you are animating and see the whole wall from all sides you're unlikely to need more than three or four.

You could also build the wall out of smaller blocks, like lego, and use instances, possibly with a noise channel somewhere to make each look a bit different.
