Please I need help with texturing, I am currently working on an Arch viz project and I need to create the kerb stone painting effect (yellow and black) similar to the image attached (on the left).
on the right is a screen shot of my blender model. I made the kerb as a curve object representing the path, then a made another curve (the profile of the kerb) and used it as a bevel object for the main kerb curve path.
Please any ideas would be highly appreciated.
I would try making a cube-like object containing one black and one yellow stripe, then add an array modifier, then add also a curve modifier. the array should follow your curve. there may be a couple of settings involved, but nothing complicated.
Thanks Modron, I like your idea, I’ll give it a shot.
Oh, thank you eppo.
I hope I can ask here instead of creating new thread. I have similar problem, but I need simple UV texturing in Blender Render. I know how to do number one (Mark Seam red edges, Select Loop, Unwrap, Select Islands and make one long line) but I don’t know how to make number two. I tried the same, but result wasn’t good. I need to Unwrap it on one texture. Thanks in advance.
If you use seamless (or repeating) texture - Unwrap - Reset and adjust Y size probably. Seams on each face doesn’t really make sense imho.
Even one line will be long and if squeezed in UV space will take miserable amount of available pixels.
Unwrap - Reset - last in the menu would place each face on top of others.
If you want to get a long line choose Unwrap - Follow Active Quads option. Make sure one face is selected before; better yet unwrap this selected one face and W straighten it in UV editor before, then select all faces and unwrap again using same option (make sure face you straightened is active face).
Edit: If your horizontal faces should get different part of the texture image select these and U,R then scale and position on texture image, P pin them. Select the rest of the faces U, R , scale and position these.
You would have something like this, upper part is pinned faces.
Thanks it works! I tried it once more and now it doesn’t make a line, but it makes a column (I hope you know what I mean). Where’s the catch?
Just see how the texture looks and rotate UVs. It can be caused by … well… bad weather? Floating point differences in 8th place after comma? Can not tell, really.
Ok, thanks for the help!
