Hi,

I have two objects in my drawing. I applied on them the same material.
As result when I render, the texture looks very different from one to another.

I applied a UVW Map and it did not help.

For both, I used a cylindrical mapping as the two shapes are similar to a cylinder. The two objects are about the same size. What I don’t understand, is that the size of the cylindrical shape in UVW map menu on one is around 3 cm. And in the other shape, it is 36 cm.

I tried to put the same size, but the result in render still the same.

I tried to joint a file that would help you to understand, but I wasn’t possible

Thanks

The scene would be most useful.

It is very possible to attach a scene, but you need to read this post to see where you’re going wrong.

I read the post about attachment, and the file is correct and I did correctly.
It likes it takes too long after clicking SUBMIT and it stops in the middle of the process.

How big is the file - the actiual .zip not the scene? I just attached a zipped scene in the 2012 forum with no problems at all.

The file is only 500K.
I tried from another computer without success.
It is maybe the security at my job that does that, don t know.
I will try from home tonight

Here’s the attached file that should help to explain my problem.

That’s an image, not the .max scene file which was requested, though it’s quite clear that the construction of the 2 sections are entirely different. The one is a nice clean Quad mesh, then other is obviously a low poly object with a Turbosmooth on it, which may be contributing to the problem. Try moving the UVWMap below the Turbosmooth.

I tried to move the UVW Map below, did not change the result.
I don’t know how the objects were created, I thought they were about the same quality of polygons.

This time I attached the .max doc (of course as a zip file)

Thanks for your help!

...AND Cylinder03 has a Scale of 12.8 %, which explaines the different size of the texture.

hope it helps

You did help me a lot, thank you.

There is one thing I still do not understand.
UVW map that do not work, do not make any change on the render. As someone recommended me, I looked at map channel, but it’s seems ok.
After making a couple of tests, it looks like it is doing that when I use a smoke map.

Thanks again, this forum is so helpful.
