 Re: Textures on Cut Brushes

Hey guys it's been a while but once again I'm back. I'm working on a new map and basically the problem I'm having relates to an arch based ceiling I made. When I apply a texture to the different faces (theres a total of 6 faces covering 180 degrees) they don't lineup with each other. This diagram might help explain my issue.

pretend this is the arch:
3/ 4
2/__5
1/___6

Ok now Faces 2 & 3 match, similarly faces 4 & 5 match. I believe faces 1 & 6 are matching but it's hard to tell. For some reason faces 1 and 6 are displaying the texture in the same angle as the wall below, but faces 2-5 are rotating the texture 90 degrees and I think thats the major problem. Anyway to fix this? Maybe its the angles or something in the cuts?

select a face with the texture tool. Alt+right click on the face next to it. Then select that one, and alt+r/click on the next again face, and so on.

ctrl+right click will apply the values to all faces of a brush.

Well that was sort of the answer to the problem. It did indeed make the textures allign and much thanks for that. I discovered that the texture application tool had a rotation option and used that to fix it meanwhile but couldn't reply to my post about it.

I'm still curious though, why does hammer do this?

i think it takes the face of a brush, and decides what plane it is best aligned to, and then applies the texture values relative to that plane. when the faces of the inside of an arch rotate away from one plane to another, then hammer will do some texture rotating of its own, to try and keep up with it.

at least that's my take on it, and will probably be as far from the truth as a piece of string is long.
