It looks like this method won't work for my game design. I thought the textures where placed not duplicated to make it work.

If I made this lamp by straight applying and positioning materials on faces the export 3ds would only be four materials (four pngs to put in my game assets folder). Using this way, well.. the screenshot. I can't have hundreds of the same texture.

Is there a way around this? Have texture alignment coordinates instead of multiple textures?

@tig said:

To fix reversed faces select the faces that are wrongly oriented [a dragged fence will make a multiple selection, hold Ctrl to add to a selection] - then use the context-menu 'Reverse', and the faces will flip over to be correctly arranged...

It was just as you said. I guess it became that way when I did the fallowme tool to make my lamp from a cross section. I actually fixed it by selecting whole shade without worry of selecting certain faces.

I'm golden now, thanks so much!
EDIT: is there a way to then do quadface on the other side? I want to do just have the diamond black frame of the texture on the back. Do I just reverse faces again?

I am a noob at uv mapping but know SU pretty well. I simply wanted a texture to wrap around the outer lamp shade, I am building for a game.
No matter how many times I try, I can't seem to get the materiel on the outside of the shade (I selected out from the rest of the model). It keeps appearing on the inside. I realized that selecting faces outside is also selecting faces inside. I know I can make the shade thicker but I need it to be one poly thick to keep polys down.

Is there a way to do this?
THANKS!

Could one of you lovelys post your settings of your ivy that crawled downward and over edges? I can't seem to get these touchy settings right. Right now it won't even produce leaves or branching, just one branch with nothing on it (*even though red lines and leaf plus signs were there showing I should get more), it's messed up.
