      Hey guys!
      I've been trying to do some renders with vray and finding it increasingly frustrating when texturing some things.

      For example, plants.... How do you pros texture plants? the leaves, petals, everything? Do you only use projected textures? I have done this but when the leaf bends more than 90 degrees, the projected texture looks very stretched and wrong right after the bend. Am i missing something very obvious in the projected technique?

      I also am aware of blender and other external texture apps but i'd much prefer to keep learning sketchup's native tools.

      thanks for all the responses in advance guys 😄

        Hi,
        As for the "native" SU tools you could try the "wrapping" method - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=21762&start=15
        Or you might want to consider Whaat´s UV Tools http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=23725&hilit=UVTools

        Comfortably numb...
