      thanks so much for your tutorials. may i ask how to scale a brick texture smaller? currently the brick texture is about 1m by 2 m on the wall, but i need it 0.2/0.06m .. much smaller. thanks :)

      BIG QUESTION: how do you stop the textures from stretching with the cubes when applied, I only want the texture to go by the tiling rules and to not follow the game object size.

    • @TheRealTimeEssentials
      @TheRealTimeEssentials  2 роки тому +4

      Yeah...SketchUp's UV mapping on curved surfaces can get a bit wonky. Does the texture look ok in SketchUp before you try to go to Unity?

    • @stephenkentperez7705
      @stephenkentperez7705 2 роки тому +3

      @@TheRealTimeEssentials I import the model with only the default template material (untextured) and do all the texturing and tweaking inside unity. And also the scaling of tile textured applied on imported mesh is kind of off (but this is not much of a problem).
      And thanks, I googled and watched some tutorials on UV mapping on unity and other software and its kind of tedious (very) to do. In sketchup, i just make the material "projected" pick an appropriate angle and call it a day haha.

    Hello, I have used a google image pic as a texture but I wonder if there is a way to make it look more realistic?Does it cause an error if I mixed a google image pic and a normal map from a different material? Thanks btw you have great content

    • @ConorW
      @ConorW Рік тому

      Google image pics are not typically great textures because they are normally photos with the lighting baked in. If you use a normal map that doesn't align with the albedo map, it often won't make sense from a material standpoint. I can explain more if you are interested.
