Learn how to create three materials that will represent each intended panel size and adjust each material's texture size according to scaling ratios.
- [Instructor] If I were to scale this panel,…let's see what happens.…I'm going to zoom in here and grab it…from the middle grip on the side, and scale it over.…The panel gets wider, but so does the texture map.…So this is not a realistic condition.…If you had a fabric, it would have a certain pattern on it,…and when you make the panel wider,…the fabric isn't going to stretch.…It's going to maintain its same aspect ratio.…So, to compensate for this,…we're going to have to create duplicate materials…that work in the different scales.…
So I am going to undo and go back here,…and let's look at what we have…in terms of the material, at this point.…So I have this material here, Fabric 48.…I'm going to edit that material,…which on the Mac you can do…by double-clicking on the material,…and in Windows you go to the Edit tab,…and you can see down here that this has a texture map…which is 18 inches in width and height.…Let's make a mental note of that.…We're starting with this condition,…and this looks correct at this scale.…
