I have a jpg texture on a cube. It looks OK in preview but it`s strange on actual object. I tried scaling it using tkey but it didn`t improve. Actually it seems to be 1:1 with the cube when I saw the dashed line during scaling. What`s the problem? PS. Texture is quite big, is 512x512 pixels (wood02 from Noctua Graphics).

PS. I thought it wa s a problem with cube proportions, but the rendered tex seems somewheat repeatedly malformed, not just stretched. Also I tried several ways of mapping it, it should show if it was stretched, but the effect did not change at all.

Check if the button "Map to Cube" is pressed.

Hope this helps :D

I tried these 4 mapping options as well as the size fields. I post here because it didn`t make any reasonable result. Looking fwd, Silgrin :/

Is that a cube or a plane that you have it mapped too? I made up this quick example in a minute or two with a jpeg randomly downloaded off the web. What it looks like is that the texture map on your object isn't mapping to the correct axis. Brian

It was a very flat cube. I think I used cubic mapping, so the axis shouldnt matter, I hope... Your cube is a bit strange. What did you do to it before texturing? It doesnt look like Space->Add->Cube and then texturing. Maybe this STH is the key?

I just beveled and smoothed the cube. Nothing exciting. Brian

Smoothed or subdivided? When I smoothed objects, their edges remained sharp and only interior looked smooth.

Reread my post. I beveled the cube:) If you'd like send me the file you are having problems with to brian @ vizualds.com and I can fix it so you can inspect. Brian
