I’ve got a problem: I’d like to create a texture for a sphere where on all axises (x, y and z) will be strips, like on Y axis in the playground. The reason I decided to use a dynamic texture is that I need not static texture, it should be generated on a client every time a user sets a new value for the gridSize variable. For now it’s a const, but it’s just an example.
I assume the easiest way to reach my goal is to overlay the texture on itself with rotating it on 90 degrees twice (around one axis and another). But I don’t know if it’s possible and how to do it if it’s so.
P.s.: if you got what I want you could also offer me other ways those seem to be better or more optimal or have any other advantagies over my intention. Thank you
Hmm you could make a custom shader to rotate the UVs and sample the texture a second time but it would be simpler to just draw the vertical lines to the dynamic texture too I think. Maybe something like this for example.
Imagine this is a sphere, with red strips on two axies. Y axis strips should be paralleled to it’s axis, like X asix strips to X axis and Z axis strips to Z axis.
Huh? I would say the same as @Blake. No clue what you are trying to achieve and what exactly the issue is. From your initial post (I didn’t reply to because you are using baseTexture and I have no experience with it) but I believe @Blake gave you the answer for it. Then I would have said the same for
I’m afraid you will have to further explain why you are using a baseTexture and (may be more importantly) what exactly is this grid). I believe we both understood the initial post and thought just to rotate your texture 90°… but apparently this still doesn’t give the result you want, does it?
OK, yes, now I get it. However, I have no idea how to do it Not just now. It’s a matter of how the UVs/normals are on a sphere - Where you want the texture on the sphere to render the same as on a cube, correct? If only my Maths would be better, I would have already given you the solution instead of typing this
I suppose you already tried changing the projection mode to cubic, yes?
No, of course it doesn’t. As I said, too easy, doesn’t make sense
Let’s call in once again @Blake or eventually @PolygonalSun to help you fix this, now that we have the full information. If anyone can tell you how to do it, I’m sure one of’em will
The grid material uses the vertex positions instead of UVs, are you going for something like this maybe? If so there’s also an NME version that can be customized more.
There’s already a built-in material, undeliverable!
Found out even how to change frequency (amount of lines in a grid).
The main task solved, but I’ve got a small question : How to get rid of these dim barely visible lines. They catch my eye even thou they barely visible
But maybe someone else will.
