Adding Surface Texture
Adding Surface Texture
(OP)
I am trying to model a project where one face of the body has a repeated, patterned texture.
Is there a simple way to add surface texture to a face, or do I have to sketch each of the repetitions and then instance them? For example is there a way I could easily apply a mesh pattern to a freeform contoured surface?

RE: Adding Surface Texture
If it is for a render, you can apply textures to the model faces.

I got a side marker that the customer wants to add acid etched v beads to the model. It goes around the part o a contoured surface.
Good thing the program was put on hold (Saab).

RE: Adding Surface Texture
I could do it manually for all the parts that I am making, but I figured it would be smart to ask if there was a built in function to iterate a pattern onto a surface at the very least for the next time if I do not find an answer by my deadline. Thanks again.
RE: Adding Surface Texture
This function may only offer a limited approximation of what you require and for some lens geometry it may not produce an optically correct result. But for quick and nasty morphing of decorative stuff in line of draw it is a winner.
