Subject: scaling textures

Hi folks, I need help understanding something. I am using vue 3 with the update. When I load a sphere into the scene, and apply the brick wall texture, it renders with the brick wall textures. If I adjust the "scale" button and set it from 1 to say 0.5, the size of the bricks stays the same, it does not get smaller, only the bumpiness seems to be affected. I apply a marble texture, and it actually changes when I use the scale button, but the brick texture and a few others do not adjust the scale, is there a reason for this? Thanks, Davo

'Evening Davo . . . 8^) I get the same thing when I used my Vue 4.06, but what I noticed is: when you raise or lower the scale size, the brick size doesn't change, but the texture of the brick does. The larger the scale size, the more defined the brick texture is. This may have something to do with the brick material using a mapped picture, instead of procedural colors? I'm sure someone else with more knowledge will give you more information. You have a good one . . . Mark. ;^)

IN VUE 3.1 do this. Do the same in the BUMPS tab. :-)Guitta

That's strange, as I remember that "scaling material" will really change the scale, even in the case of mapped picture (Vue 2.1; it should be the same for other versions). Is it due to the way the picture is mapped (flat, faces, cylindrical,...) ?

Yves, in Vue 2.1 it is to handle exactly like in Vue 3. Just try:-) Guitta

thanks for the help everybody:^) I can rescale manually by changing the material editor. It would have been nice if it changed with the scale button though. Davo

Oh this is a great help to me too! Thank you for asking and thank you Guitta for your pictures showing how! (I am a very visual person, I always need pictures and really appreciate your extra work to do this!!) I am just starting to work with photo textures (those Kromekat textures are beautiful!) and I did not realize where to change the scale! I was doing it in the wrong place! Another thing to try! :)) Lyne
