Skewed Texture Maps

[bubs]

Surprisingly I've obviously never tried this before with Indigo, but I recently used a texture map skewed to fit a surface, using SU non-fixed pins. The texture looks absolutely fine in SU but when I render in Indigo, the material is distorted.

Is this function simply not supported, or is this a bug?

Don't use sketchup obviously, but in Blender that problem can be solved by subdividing the mesh.

That's because Indigo does not support homogeneous UVW mapping which SketchUp uses. UV mapping is not able of skewing.

Subdividing makes the effect unnoticeable with enough subdivisions

Is there anything that galinette doesn't know?

Thanks guys! worked like a charm!

The evidence would suggest not!

Picking the occasion to suggest a little tut to create cool flames like bubs'
Would be very cool to have on the online tutorials section

It's actually just an Indigo material I made Pibuz... I've always had issues with it tho...
However, I sent it to our glorious leader (Ono ) yesterday and he is having a look at it for me! If he gets the bugs out I'll upload it to the Mat DB

..ok!..would have been interesting on the didactic side to have sort of a worflow explained, I thought
Thanks a lot btw!

OK, I can do if it's more of a workflow thing... bear in mind tho, that without the use of emitting double sided thins in Skindigo, to make it look OK is always going to be a work-around with light sources hidden from the camera... and I know you don't like that sort of cheating
