Title: Texture fix Capping holes
Post by: IVORM on May 07, 2020, 11:54:49 AM

Hi all,

My first post on this forum. I need to find a fix for my textures while capping my assets inside Railclone.
I am working on some intersection visuals and I am using the build in Cap feature inside Railclone. The textures are distorted and I am trying to fix it with a separate poly select and a new UVW map inside my stack. Unfortunate this not a solid fix which doesn't always work. Do you have some suggestions?

Hi and welcome.

You can enable RailClone generated UVs:

Hope this helps

Thank you Rokas! That fixed my issue.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work with a street tile, when I click the apply box mapping.
It doesn't maintain the previous UVW unwrap setting.

Please attach a max file to illustrate the problem

Thanks. OK yes, this method only works with simple BOX mapping and seamless textures. I guess this time You can swap the tiles texture to seamless concrete material.

Thks for your advice, that seems to be the best solution.

Hi,

I've noticed that cap mapping size is incorrect when using non real-world mapping, specifically it's got different scale than the body of the segment.
It gets fixed when I switch to 'real-world map size' in RC and to 'real-world scale' mapping in texture.
I work in centimeters.

Is there any fix for that? I'd rather not work in RWS mapping, since most of our libraries are based on regular UVW-tiling mapping.

I am afraid not, only RealWorldScale when capping.

I use both RWS and regular UVs on daily basis. Both have own pros and cons.

Is this solved already or still an issue? Can I Box Map caps separately?

I'm not sure about the original problem, because this is an old post and we made many changes since then.
But actually Segment->Mapping options applies also for Caps, and coordinates can be specified in RWS or regular units.

If you have a problem with that, please create a new forum thread and attach a sample scene. We'll check it.

Thanks.
