Stitch, add material problem
-
Steve,
Can you post the model?
-
Yes, I did, and it didn't pick up the material (I clicked the eyedropper on the material I had just applied)! I must being doing something wrong, but not sure what it is.
Quoting Justinian on the SU forum? Plurimus praeclarus!
-
I posted it already under "Roof faces and materials problem" on this forum!

Steve,
I tried the model you post on this thread and I'm afraid it worked fine.
Its hard to suggest anything with out seeing you actually working. so the next suggestions are not meant to be teaching you the suck eggs.
Do you hold Alt when you are sampling?
Do click in the middle of the face not on the edge?I can't think of anything else that night be the issue sorry mate.

The same here: if you do follow all the instructions, it should work.

Well, originally it is by Ulpianus - Digestae 1.1.10.1 (scroll down to 10); as the "title" of the Digestae says "Domini Nostri Sacratissimi Principis Iustiniani Iuris Enucleati Ex Omni Vetere Iure Collecti Digestorum Seu Pandectarum").True that nice reading!
-
Yes, I do hold down Alt. I will try sampling from the bigger area.
There was a time when I was a Latin and ancient Greek scholar--love to see someone else with the interest!

I really don't know what goes wrong...

Well, I deal with ancient history, archaeology and Roman Law up to now. I am actually a "Doctor Iuris" as well, wrote my thesis in Roman Law and have even taught Roman Law at university.
So any Latin and Greek scholars are also welcome at this place (at least by me)
-
It still doesn't work!
So I did Ctrl/Eraser, turned on Hidden Geometry which showed the two big triangles I had made to fill in the surface. I filled one in with the roofing material. Right-click>Texture/Position>hit Enter. Then I held down Alt, got the eyedropper--clicked the eyedropper on the middle of the roof area I just filled in, and--nothing, except that it turned the roof mmaterial in the Browser window to the default white/gray color.
-
I don't know what to say.
Here is n attached video of the steps (right after I softened the line - hidden geometry already on). You can see when I click from the red circles. After I sample the texture (with the Alt + Paint bucket = Eyedropper tool), I release the Alt button and paint the other facet.
-
Oh, if I let up on Alt it turns back into the Paint Bucket and then it will paint. The textures don't line up, though, and the texture Position option is gone.
-
Oh, you have to release the Alt key. I did that and it paints, but the textures don't line up, and the Texture Position option is gone.
-
You only have to hold down the Alt key while sampling. Not before (while positioning the texture) and not after you sampled (when you paint the other facet).
