texture scaling No texture strech in scaling objects

[AnimationOwl 378]

You know when you want to make a nice looking chair? You spawn a few plank blocks and strech them and then put them together.

 

Say you want to make a desk in mineimator. Like this one:

 

You strech scale blocks to make it work. 

But look what happens.

 

The textures strech, and makes it look quite, for the lack of a better term, ugly.

I would love to have something like a "universal texture tile" function, or something like that. Which makes it so that the textures will remain the same no matter if it is streched. Giving it a look like in the first picture.

 

I hope you understand what i mena, it's hard to explain

I think this is why he made the MipMap texturing in demo 6. (which in fact isn't out and a few are wanting it)

This doesn't actually do anything about the textures, it just adds the same block and makes teh same object out of it.

If you repeat the block. It, well, repeats the block so the textures don't stretch.

Yes, but it does make the textures smaller when you scale it down, which still doesn't solve the problem.

YEAH! i 100% agree with this! so when the texture gets streatched to over a block's size it just starts repeating the texture! fantastic suggestion!

Ah yes! This might just be what i need.

Sadly it's not out yet

What im trying to say, is this.

Look at Skjolds picture. Thats what i mean

but also a slider to make the pixels smaller! (right?) because what if you made a small rig but still wanted the effect AND the pixels scalled down to fit! unless theres a button to change the textures scaling down with it to!


oh, and btw for those wondering how i made that picture..


sorry for big pictures! D:

 P.S: SOCKFACE!!!

message to david: see how many people is burning for this? the rigger community would be so happy take your time.

Put the texture on a cube, theres a option to change the texture on the block to stretch it, I have to go to school now so I can't explain much if someone can it would be great

use custom items,it really helped me on that stuff

[Budzie 106]

I would love the same feature, also I think using custom textures is a pain.

 

The idea of scaling down pixels is amazing I agree.

 

I really want MipMapping!
