I’m pretty new to 3D art and UV mapping things is still difficult for me, and now I’m attempting something that I don’t even really know where to begin with. I need a model of a 9 sided shape (octagon plus one) to act as a sort of progress wheel in a game. Using a square texture like this
I need the 3D model to fill up like this.
The problem is that in Unreal engine I can do this sort of radial fill, but it assumes the UV coordinates are that of a plane. This 9 sided shape has UVs that are completely different. Is there some way I can set up the UVs so that they are the same as a plane, or so that the texture like the red and black one above will map out like my blue and orange drawing does on top of the model? I know this is weird, but I’d really like this to work. Ask me for clarification if you don’t understand, please don’t ignore the post. Thanks in advance!
