Hi,

Is it possible to have a repeating texture on a line, using mantra line rendering?
Cant seem to put proper UV coordinates since a line is just one point large, the texture gets stretched in the width.

Thanks a lot.

try to put UV texture SOP with texture type set to rows and columns and “apply to” set to vertex texture

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already tried that with “apply to” set to “natural location”, and setting it to “vertex texture” gets the same result, the texture is stretched.

hi!

try to scale the U value at the range attributes

Yes of course. UV Texture SOP create uv coords only. You can use UV transform SOP or UV transform VOP to make proper length to your texture

I've tried your suggestions, but I don't think it can works with tweaking the uv coordinates. Here's a picture showing the problem. On the left is a nurbs grid (0.5*2) with uvtexture set to rows and columns and the y scale is 4. On the right is the line (length = 2, attribute width set to 0.5).

The uvs for the grid are 0,1,0,1,0,1… wich correspond to the left and right point of the grid for uv and go from 0 to 4 for uv.

for the line, it's just 0,0,0,0.. for uv since there are no left and right points.

So I was wondering if something can be done about this.

Thanks again.

Not sure if I understand what you're after but curve geometry in Mantra has its own implicate uv space called s and t. Use it to map a texture on a curve instead of uv.

Thanks Symek, just after I posted, I thought I had to create my own vex surface, and you made me nail it.

All I needed was to just connect the t input of the vex texture node and let mantra use its own space going from 0 to 1 for the s coordinate.
