The UVW Map modifier, part 2

“

- [Instructor] Having looked at how we apply a UVW map modifier to our geometry, and seen some of the mapping types in action, let's take a look in this video at some of the extra controls that we can use to affect how our mapping coordinates are working. First of all, with our robot body selected, we have the ability to resize our UVW gizmo by means of the length, width, and height spinners. Obviously, as we are currently projecting in play now mode here, only two of these parameters are available, as the height or depth parameter, as we may prefer to think of it, has no corresponding axis on a 2D shape. If I switch over to box mapping, though, you can see that we do indeed have the ability to control that parameter as well. We can also, on the UVW map modifier, tile our texture interactively, if we like. Now, as we do, it may appear as if we are performing the same operation as changing the length and width parameters. But, whilst visually similar, the two are, in fact, quite…
