Hi,
I am referring to the problem described by @ceejay at [Changing the uScale and vScale of the texture on an object-by-object basis - Questions & Answers - HTML5 Game Devs Forum](http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/23576-changing-the-uscale-and%C2%A0vscale-of-the-texture-on-an-object-by-object-basis/)
This is a old post. I would like to know if a solution is built in BabylonJS Api or we need to implement our own solution?
Hi @Wingnut,
In that post, you said…
“Perhaps… mesh.materialWrapPerMeshScale = true/false ? Or maybe mesh.allowMaterialScaling = false ? (neither exist, yet)”.
Do they exist now?
Thanks in advance.

this is called UV’s 🙂
```
Mesh.getVerticesData(BABYLON.VertexBuffer.UVKind)
```
I was actually theorising how to implement a simple solution for this yesterday,
like meshA.setUvs(0,0,1,1) to display entire texture,
meshB.setUvs(0, 0, 0.5, 0.5) to display a 1/4 size square of the texture (bottom left).
But it’s slightly more complicated than that behind the scenes, i’ll pick up where i left it and see if i can make it work 🙂
_Update;_
**First attempt** , works only for ground meshes, (mesh.CreateGround)
But works exactly how i imagine it should, you set x,y,z,w aka (u, v, u2, v2) and they are updated.
This was quite simple to do as we have the information needed, easily available, (subdivisions)
[https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QFRJ7K#1](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QFRJ7K#1) (inspired by VertexData.CreateGround)
**Second attempt**
_Big Issue_: Expanding the function to be used on any type of mesh, including custom meshes.
Solution: Hope and assume the meshes are created with 0,0,1,1 (full texture) uvs.
Then edit existing uv’s instead of creating new, now works for any type of mesh.
[https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QFRJ7K#4](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QFRJ7K#4) (inspired by custom mesh docs & SPS particle uv’s)
_Protential issue_:
If a custom mesh is made without full texture uvs, to avoid issues, manually setting
```
mesh.__uvsCache = new BABYLON.Vector4( u, v, u2, v2);
```
with the used uvs (at creation) is required before calling mesh.setUvs().
Any smart people out there who might have an idea how to avoid using a “uvsCache” please do give it a go, it annoys me greatly 😄

Great. But my new question is, how do I compute the values to be passed to the setUVS function?

You would have to look at your texture,
the range is generally 0 to 1,
u = Horizontal starting point, 0 = Left, 0.5 = Center, 1 = Right, etc
v = Vertical starting point, 0 = Bottom, 0.5 = Center, 1 = Top…
u2 = Horizontal ending point,
v2 = Vertical ending point.
say you have a texture with 4 tiles, and you want the top left tile, e.g. orange on picture.
u = 0; // start at 0 on horizontal axis
v = 0.5; // start at center on vertical axis
u2 = 0.5; // end at center on horizontal
v2 = 1; // end at top on vertical
setUvs( u, v, u2, v2 )

I found this thread and the playground very helpful. Thank you! Am surprised something like this setUVs function hasn’t been added as a native Mesh method.

Short answer,
it’s incomplete and uvs are complex when you have to support any imagineable scenario 😄

Aye I can only imagine. Thinking about it too much would turn my hair grey. 😀
