Title: Texturing Cylinders
Post by: Pacific385 on January 28, 2012, 03:49:57 pm

Does anyone know how to texture a cylinder?
I've been using this coding:
[meshbuilder]
Cylinder 32,0.02,0.02,2
Color 224, 223, 219
Translate 0.00,2.10,-15.00

Cylinders cannot be textured, since there are no faces to reference. You can texture one shade onto it but it cannot be specific or it will be mapped over the entire object (or not at all). Your best bet is to build them by hand.

Actually you CAN texture a cylinder. I've done so myself and there is a tutorial on how to texture cylinders and cubes.

This is the coding:

CreateMeshbuilder,

Cylinder, 16, 0.5, 0.5, 3.2
Translate, 0.0, 2.6, 0.05

LoadTexture,20th End Wall.bmp
SetTextureCoordinates, 0, 0  , 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 1, 0  , 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 2, 0.8, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 3, 0.8, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 4, 1.6, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 5, 1.6, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 6, 2.4, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 7, 2.4, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 8, 3.2, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 9, 3.2, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 10, 4  , 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 11, 4  , 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 12, 4.8, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 13, 4.8, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 14, 5.6, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 15, 5.6, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 16, 6.4, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 17, 6.4, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 18, 5.6, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 19, 5.6, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 20, 4.8, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 21, 4.8, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 22, 4  , 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 23, 4  , 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 24, 3.2, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 25, 3.2, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 26, 2.4, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 27, 2.4, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 28, 1.6, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 29, 1.6, 1
SetTextureCoordinates, 30, 0.8, 0
SetTextureCoordinates, 31, 0.8, 1

And a screen showing the textured cylinder

It worked, thanks. One thing though, is it possible to have the image repeat only once?

It should be. Just play around with the coordinates.

It should be. Just play around with the coordinates.

You have to keep the numbers in proportion (ex. 6.4 becomes 1, 5.6 becomes .875, 4.8 becomes .75 and so on) Take the original number and divide it by 6.4 (or the greatest number there)
