Curved Wall with Horizontal Siding


Recommended Posts

I am having issues with this horizontal texture on a curved wall.

Any way to get the lines to not "jump" around?

This is one continuous wall from top to bottom.

It looks like they pull from the corners of the openings in the wall, but I don't know why it would do this.

It doesn't matter what the mapping is. It looks like this regardless.

Hi @marveln22

Can you attach a file with just that wall in it and with the same render settings?

Note: The hatch lines are most likely not continuous lines across the full length of the arc path wall due to how the surface hatch placed on the 3D geometry.  This is likely causing the overlapping effect at the ends of these line when using the Sketch feature.  However, I would not expect a vertical change between them as shown in your screenshot.

Thanks for the file, @marveln22,

 

There does seem to be more trouble rendering surface hatches when rendering a wall "By Object".  I would reccommend doing the following to improve the results but using the Sketch" effect will still generate overlapping ends of lines due to how the 3D geometry is rendered.

  1. Add a component to the wall with the same thickness and texture as the wall.
  2. Set the Render mode in the Render tab of the Object Info palette to "By Component".

You can see there is some improvement on the wall to the left in the attached video and file.

 

For the overlapping issues of the Sketch effect, you could tweak the Sketch settings to try to reduce the problem but that may not be the look you want elsewhere.
