Material Repeat and Center

Video Lecture

Material Repeat and Center Material Repeat Center

Description

Where material textures sit on a geometry can be changed by changing their UV co-ordinates. It can also be stretched, repeated, rotated and offset.

In this video I demonstrate zooming into our 3D world plane by changing the texture UV co-ordinates using the repeat and center material options.
