Multiple textures on a polygon surface

[boby]

how do you achieve multiple textureson polygons?

Hi,

You can assign a Layered Texture on your polygons. Open Hypershade and create a layared texture. Assign your maps and Blend them according to their Alpha sources and etc... You can use any kind of projections while assigning the shader.

I was just looking into this method over the weekend...so this requires u to use a different UV set for each projection? or can u assign multiple projections under 1 UV set?

you don't need to use more than one uv set. connect the Layered Texture node to a material. select the layered texture in hypershade. open the attribute editor. you can drag and drop multiple textures from the create render node window into the attribute editor.
F1> Render> Multitexturing for the details.

Im aware u can create a multitexture with one UV set, but I was reffering to multiple projections. Say I have sphere and I want to map a face on the front and ears on the side....but I want to use 1 texture map. Can I assign multiple projection maps with one UV set with the multitexture...or do I need more than 1 uv set, ie. one for the front and one for the side? Or say I have a mesh and i want to map some noise and a grid to it thru the multitexture...but I want to scale or move the grid texture independently from the noise...this would require more than one projection...which means I use more than one UV set?

Am I confusing myself or what?

Hmm. I believe that when you're using projections to apply textures, the UVs become irrelevant. The placement of the texture is dependent only on the relationship between the projection placement node and the actual surface.

So multiple projections, with a single UV set, should work fine.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken (it happens a lot ).

Good luck!

Asuming you have non overlapping uvs in firstplace!
