Is there a way to map textures so that they are mirrored from each other? Does .x files suport this?

Yes you can uv map the .x any way you want in a modeler and apply tiled texture.
Not sure what you mean by mirroring tiles ?

Like this, but as you can see the plane had to be subdivided in order to mirror the tiles. I already know sketchup is incapable, but I was wondering if there are other modelers that can specialy tile textures this way.

Ah I see.
I don't really know. I suppose 3dsmax is the answer to most modeler stuff.

hey rush, i've seen this trick used in many of my favorite Dreamcast games, in Sonic Adventure 2 there are some very creative uses of UVing... i use it in my projects a lot even in the racer demo as seen below
but, you have to use the geometry to do so... i mean you cant use various mirrored tiles on one face

or maybe with shaders?
genetransfer, what do you think?

I c.. Yea, they use this kind of texturing in some N64 games too.
-and yea, that would be awesome to have a shader...

hi everone,
it's actually very simple to do in any shader (but only do it for the diffuse texture as it will mess up a normal map unless generating the normal map on the fly based on a diffuse map but that's another shader altogether, but if you just need diffuse then this is the best answer)
in the texture sampler section of the shader code:
add or modify: AddressU,AddressV(alternatley aswell AddressW) (edit: usually this is set to WRAP)
other adress handle for UVW are: border,clamp,mirror,mirroronce,wrap
hope that is helpful.

Code: [Select]
sampler2D ColorSampler = sampler_state {
Texture = <diffuseMap>;
MinFilter = Linear;
MipFilter = Linear;
MagFilter = Linear;
//---
AddressU = MIRROR;
AddressV = MIRROR;
//---
};
other adress handle for UVW are: border,clamp,mirror,mirroronce,wrap
hope that is helpful.

Ahh, I give up... 
Could you post all of the code for this shader please?

Oh, ha ha.. I had it working all along.. just needed a different mesh.. But this is anoying now.. because I loose the defult shaders then. Is there anyway to copy them to use in the custom shaders?
P.s. I need to do this using the bump shader.
