This one I haven't figured out yet. Is there an easy way to scale a shader? I want to cover a submerine with bricks and I only get 2 bricks. The bricks are too big. How do I scale the shader to fit the object.

It is more 'repeating' shaders. It depends on how you got those bricks on it in the first place. If they are from a texture, you need to 'tile' them. The word you will find next to the 'texture map' part of the shader. You can only have 30 tiles maximum, but when you buy ShaderOps from Digital Carvers Guild, that limit is gone. And you get a lot of other cool options extra too. If you made them in another way, there may be other sliders to hassle with. But, eh, a submarine with bricks? I am sure it will be easy to put under water, but returning to the surface sounds like a problem... ;-)

Actually, when tiling a texture map, the sliders only go to thirty. However, if you click directily on the number, you can enter whatever value you prefer. Mark

Oh. That's a hidden feature/short-cut I had not figured out yet... Thanks!

The more tiles you can place means the smaller the texture will be? I can place more bricks on my submarine?

Yes :)

Probably none of my business, but why would you want bricks on a submarine?

bad joke

Probally so it will sink faster:)

It's kind of a cross between Elton John & The Beatles. "We all sink in a yellow brick submarine" :-)
