UVW Mapping node

This node is used to configure UVW mapping for some mesh builders.


U-Coords group

Sets up parameters of U-Coordinate or circle length coordinate for Cylinder mesh or Meta mesh, or leaf's width for Leaves mesh.

Absolute width

Enables the usage of the absolute width value of the texture map. The Width parameter will be available.

Width

Specifies the absolute width value.

Tile

The number of times the texture image is repeated along the width.

Flip

Reverses the direction of the map along the width.

Offset

Specifies the width offset in texture coordinates.

Align width

Activates the alignment texture along the width of the leaf. At the beginning and at the end of a leaf and also in its narrow places the texture is shrinking. Available for Leaves mesh only.

Along edge

Activates the alignment of the texture along the edge of the leaf. The texture is not shrinking here. It is available when the Align width is on, and also for Leaves mesh only.


V-Coords group

Sets up parameters of V-Coordinate or coordinate along the path's length.

Absolute length

Enables the usage of the absolute length value of the texture map. The Length parameter will be available.

Length

Specifies the absolute length value.

Tile

The number of times the texture image is repeated along the length.

Flip

Reverses the direction of the map along the length.

Offset

Specifies the length offset in texture coordinates.

Scale length by Radius

Enables scaling of texture coordinates by length depending on the radius of Cylinder mesh or Meta mesh.
