- [Narrator] In this final exercise for the course, we're going to look at how we can get a little more believability out of our blended box mapping by means of our ability to control the map's transformation in U, V, and W space. We're going to be using our test map here, as it helps clearly show just what is happening when we use the transformation controls. However, as the blended box map is most likely to be used with maps that don't have straight lines or repeating patterns, such as dirt, grass, and so on, you will have to use a little bit of imagination to understand how these controls can be helpful.
