I have worked out how texture my items with a UV map, but is there any way to make an item have a tiling texture? I want to texture a large object (ground, wall etc) and dont really want to use a gigantic uv map. I would like, for example, to make a carpet tile, or a ground tile, or a wall tile, and just have it tile all over the large background object. Thanks Sandy

which version of poser are you using? Poser5 can do it with ease in the materials room, but poser4 is a bit more limited in that area & you'd need to go down the uv route.

I am using Poser 5. If I import an object (say from 3d studio max) into Poser then tile it in the material sroomn it comes out all wrong. The same thing happens if I (say) make a primitve in poser (cube, etc) and tile it. It either squashes the image or enlarges the image and wraps it around the whole thing. So I have to make a UV map, colour the textre map and apply that. How does Poser 5 tile?

The link at RDNA only works for OBJs using Steve Cox's UVMapper, but for anyone using UVMapper definatly check the link Maveris gave above as Steve has finally responded with some Awsome info for UVMapperPro users!

Also here is a link for my Dial-A-Tile. It really is very easy to use, and works great for walls, ceilings, and floors.

It saves a lot of time because you just adjust the tiling right inside Poser.
