Apply texture to just one face of a bloc Created 17 years ago2007-02-15 21:22:38 UTC by Stanley

When using the hammer editor can you apply different textures to different sides of the blocks?

Also different parts of the block?

For example i have a wall that i want to be 2 different textures at each end!

Thanks

Yes, just open the texture application tool and click on whatever face you want to select it. Then, click the little browse button in the window, select the desired texture, and click apply.

to have a wall with to texture cut that shit up with the clip tool. or create a second wall next to the old one.

Wurd.

To clarify: Clip out the portion of the wall you want to have the different texture on with the clip tool... in case the post above me didn't make sense

Thanks for the replys guys, sorted appying textures to one wall.

I cant work out how to apply different textures to differnt parts of the wall tho. When you say "clip tool" which one do you mean? I take it not the block clipping tool?!

Cheers

I could do it using loads of different walls, but i take it that would be a lot more inefficient and run slower?

Yes, click the icon for the block clipping tool multiple times to change modes, until you get to the one that lets you split brushes instead of just clipping a portion of it away. As long as you don't overdo it, this is the most efficient (and really only) way of placing multiple texture along one straight surface.

You can't actually place multiple textures on one face, but you can get the same thing by just placing them side-by-side.

well if you didnt alredy figure it out theres an easyer way to make each sile of a brush a differnt texture. you can right click on the block you made in one of the 2d veiws then select ungroup it splits the block up into individual walls that now make up what was your brush. not you can texture each side and if you want right click a side and select regroupe witch brings them all back together. (hoped it helped)
