Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

[daleanderson]

You are THE BEST! you have helped me so very much, all I can say is THANK YOU. Please keep these coming, you are doing good work.

Cool, that eases a lot the applikation of textures to physical objects with defined size, in my example parts I print in 3d. I need to get this displaced for that in topography. Will see, how that works.

if anyone got issues with a pattern scale/scew/stretch, in the "texture coordinate" use 'UV' instead of 'Generated'.

Thanks, simple and clear tutorial. Just gained a subscriber.

Thanks!! This saved so much time when I was trying to figure out sizing for wooden floor in my project!!!

Dude this is what I needed for my work with custom Skyrim Armors!

[LisaLee-etvq]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

[Raysrays]

Thank you sir, very simple and helpful tutorial.

I like the way you are keeping the objects ready, not like just like creating while recording.

[teoteo]

Do you have any idea why when I connect the maps with the mapping node, the material stretches without even making any changes to the scale?

[DLBY]

great video...is there a way to color the high bits of the displacement ?

[aminemarref]

Any idea on how to export the model with the textures scaled-up or down? It seems that the textures reset to their initial scale when exported to FBX.

[OttrPopAnimations]

Thank you so much! This is very helpful

[CamiloMonsalve]

Thank you! How did you create the single node?

[aprintojoss]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
BUT I am still don't know how to connect together from 'mapping>vector' box into *middle of 'all 4 material maps' together* as video on 1:46 ?

[mikejaques]

Thank you very much for explanation with delails

[azotmx]

Guys How do you keep the same texture size 1 cm x1 cm on both. plain waffle and spherical waffle? thanks for the help.

[Guest_]

Nice BUT… all I need to know is how you made the empty node that goes out to all the maps.

I have a question...Im trying to export my model as an .i3d file type for Farming Simulator 22 but when its exported the scale of the texture does not import correctly. I think it has to do with the UV Mapping but I cant figure out why on the 3D model it looks fine but then after the export its all screwy :(
