I'm having a problem with texturing *i think this is the right spot, but if not plz move this*. It seems that vertical or near vertical faces are getting very streaky textures in Sapian and Halo CE. When I view the level from above the textures are completely "flat" and looks like it was just a plainer UVW map, but its a box with the Z alignment selected. I am using Gmax and Chimp 1.6. *I have an awsome gpx card, ATI X600 AIW, believe; and halo looks awsome*


And just to add, I can not seem to texture any bases I make, the walls are also streaky *figures*, or non existant. I think the streaks on the bases are the stupid micro map, which would make the walls bare anywase.

Always use it.If its to big and ugly well use tiling at the bottom.It doesn't look that nice but some texture support tiling and look preety good.Otherwise i would always use Unwrap and make a Unwrap map and paint it.

well, i already have it as a box uvw but it is streaky on vertical/near vertical faces.

also I have a few other textures no but none of them are showing up properly... either streaky or jsut the micro-detail map showing

heres a link to a few pics of the problem: Here
