Texture on merged mesh

[z.attila]

Hi there.

 

Is there a way to use a texture on the whole merged mesh?

 

My problem is, if i merge some mesh into one, i can not use a texture on it, the framework apply the texture on every base shape.

 

 

Here is a sample of code:

 

var meshes = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

    var mesh = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateTorus('mesh', (i * 2) + 1, 1, 10, scene, false);

    mesh.position.y = i;

    meshes.push(mesh);

}

 

var mesh = BABYLON.Mesh.MergeMeshes(meshes, true, true);

 

mesh.material = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial('beeHiveMaterial', scene);

mesh.diffuseTexture = new BABYLON.Texture('someimage.jpg', scene);

 

 

 

Thanks

Hello can you create a playground scene to allow us to help you?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

thank you for your quick response, i created a playground scene:

Hi,

 

To achieve the effect you're looking for I think you need to either:

- manipulate UV values (i.e. texture coordinates) of each vertex in your merged meshes, or

- build your mesh in a 3D software, such as Blender, and choose which type of texture projection you want on your object.

 

I made an example of my first suggestion in this PG: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#KGUJW#1

For each torus, I scaled the texture coordinates to just show a "slice" of the whole texture. The result is not incredibly looking... But you get the idea.
