Re: Modified materials in furniture - not scaled?
ok -

Thanks for the quick reply. The cabinet in question is the wood lower cabinet by Pencilart.


If I apply a texture to the entire object, it works as expected. If I instead choose "Materials" from the "Color and texture" section of the "Modify furniture" page and then apply the same texture to just the countertop, I get something very different. My previous description of how the texture is mapped was wrong; experiments using a grid texture show the texture is mapped against the countertop with the center point of the texture mapped against the centerpoint of the countertop's top surface.

Oddly, if you consider the texture as running from {-1,-1} to {1,1}, the countertop's surface appears to run from approximately {-0.725,-0.35} to {0.725,0.35}. This suggests to me the textures are being applied to the model components before the model is resized to the object's final size.

This last experiment offers a possible workaround -- or, at least it would if I actually needed this object; instead, I have been trying to model an existing home to make sure I could do so before redesigning it, so I don't plan to lose any more sleep over this particular ugly kitchen. My main concern was to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong in the way I imported new textures or applied them to a model's materials.
