Suggestions??

I've built a wigwam for myself, however, the interior walls have major overlap, giving it a honeycomb appearance. When I get home today, I'll see what I can do about posting pics of it. Any suggestions will be appreciated on what I should do to cover or erase the overlaps.

Thanks

faux pas, forgot i posted this, i'll post the pic when i get home tonight, i swear.

ah, nm, i can never remember i posted this until i'm reading the forums at work.

Instead of hiding them, consider making them "work" in a way that will augment the dwelling, if not lend it authenticity. Texturing can help, along with additional prims, but mostly it's an idea of the looking at the "flaw" and imagining a way in which it can be turned to make the build unique.

I know this sounds metaphysical, but it's worked a lot for me.

Woah - I think I know exactly what you mean, Seth.

While making front steps for a house, I chose the same brick as the house's foundation. Apparently I can't change the repeats on a surface, but only on the whole object, correct?

(If there is a way to change the repeats on just one surface - and I swear, I thought at one time there was a way - please let me know.)

Anyway, I ended up using an entirely different texture on the top which was all stretched out - due to it being the same repeats as the side, and had a black line running down the middle. Well, I scooted the black line so it was partly on both sides, and lo and behold if it didn't look neat!

And if someone else came along and thought it looked neat, they'd have a heck of a time figuring it out, and when they did, they would probably think I was some kind of a genius or something, lol.

(And can I change the repeats of same or different textures on the same prim, so that the repeats of all sides aren't equal?)

tick select texture, click on the face tou want to edit, play with the horizontal and vertical repepeats per face (only affects the selected face) play with the offsets, do NOT touch repeats per meter (never have found a use for that setting, unless some planned on making an actual meterstick... better to do the calculation your self)

yes, cocoa -- what jessica said. You can change the texture itself on each face of a prim, and the tiling/repeating, shiny settings, offsets, and transparency -- and have separate settings for each face.

WHen you go into edit mode, you will see above the tabs (General, Edit, contents) some radio buttons. Select the "Select Texture" radio button and then click on the face you want to work on. You can also hold down the shift key and select multiple faces of same or different prims at the same time.
