Apply texture to length of objects?

[rob4]

Hi,

I am using D5 to render some furniture, but when applying the wood grain textures the grain doesnt flow down the length. If i rotate the texture it sorts some of the grain direction issues but then causes issues elsewhere?

See the 2 examples below.

Any ideas on what the fix is? Can it not snap the direction along the length?

1. did you use Triplanar ?
   

   

2. if this does not help. you need to make the texture different for the front and the side. sometimes this is needed. you need to do that in your model software. Or that some wooden boards are a different texture (colour) in your 3d model so that you change every direction of every board you need.
   

   

hope this helps
