I've been looking for an answer on this and I'm utterly confused. I'm very new to UV mapping (in fact, this is my first "real" attempt to use it in a way that it tiles correctly) and I've got a problem with trying to get a texture to scale, too. I've tried even the different tools like TexTools and UV Magic, and I'm still not getting a 100% match on this on TexTools, for example. I have yet to try UV Magic, but from another thread (here: Unwrap UV map proportionally to object size) there's no difference in the function of TexTools vs UV Magic? I'm not sure what is going on here... I tried the projection from view, but that creates a disaster for someone new like me. Isn't there a better way to do this?

Ok, so more details on this: I have two items. Both are at a scale of 1.0 but have different widths and lengths. I've got a texture on them now, but it doesn't align. Below is what I'm working with:

Now, I've scaled both by 2.9x from the corner of the UV map using Smart UV Project.

Here's the thing... despite both being scaled by 2.9x, they are STILL different sizes and I can't get them to align. Here's the zoomed in version: enter image description here And here's the zoomed out version: enter image description here

I hope this is not a duplicate topic! If it is, I apologize. Please lead me to the right one. I spent quite a while searching for a topic similar to this, and I've not been successful in finding an answer.

Here's what I want to do, but it requires overlapping geometry and a size change to make it work. Ideally, I'd like to not over-lap and keep the items of different sizes as they were originally: enter image description here

  • Checkout the Texture Atlas addon. – Leander Jan 31 '19 at 07:49
  • Please tell me more? What exactly can I do with it? How would I go about doing what I'm trying to do with it? – Lucidity of Power Jan 31 '19 at 08:59

    Texture Atlas is an addon to temporarily combine objects for unwrapping them onto the same uvmap. After the UV process is finished, they are separated again, retaining their original transformations. – Leander Jan 31 '19 at 10:21
  • I see. Thanks for the explanation. That's useful; I will definitely look into it. I'd like any method possible to figure out this issue of mine since I know that there are multiple ways of doing this. – Lucidity of Power Jan 31 '19 at 20:22
