OK. I want to do a simple thing in Poser 5.........but i'm like a baboon trying to figure out how to do it......nothing is said in the manual....... I want to tile an image on a surface.....for instance i have a picture of a single bathroom tile and I want to apply it to a wall......i want the effect where they are all side by side like in a real bathroom.....how do you do that? I tried everything I can think of but what happens is the single tile gets stretched over the entire wall.....i want the effect like a chess board........please help.........thanks very much for reading!!!!

In the node - I think the 2nd and 3rs lines U... is the number of times across V... down The number you enter is the recipricol of the number of repeats = if you want 5 repeats = 0.2 Why is there not coding to allow a user just to just a number directly? My only answer is that maybe a reciprocol is easier to use as less than whole numbers.

One other feature is that you can change the orientation by selecting uv-vu in the menu, and change the height and with size of multiple props to have a similar texture effect, very useful then creating a prop like a room by primitives and want similar textures on all parts. The biggest problem with the material room is then I want to tile a texture for clothes I often has to use a very small number like 0.1-0.005 and its very hard to preview.

I hope you don't mind a blatant plug.

But for floor tiling you just cant beat this. Works in Poser 4 or 5, and It's discounted right now also.

I love Dial-A-Tile. It works great for walls too. I use it in Poser 5...and the results are always super easy. I have used it on several graphics. This isn't the best example, but if you look at the floor, you can see it is pretty seamless with the tomb which is sitting on it. I really wasn't adapt enough to get the same effect using Poser 5 alone, though probably there are many people here who could. The nice thing about it is that the results are more dependable...sometimes the tiling in Poser 5 comes out an unusual size (probably because I don't really understand the protocal for the settings).
