uvs for wheel

Hi,

how do I uv this wheel so that the texture in painter follows the curve of the wheel instead of going across?

Hi @Michael24867556l1nh,

Thanks for the message.

You could use a Cylindrical projection, but the veins won't really follow the path.

Alternatively, you can use the Path tool, plug the material in the brush properties and create a path following the wheel's curve.

Make sure to enable Follow Path parameter, and tweak the Spacing/Size according to the mesh.

I hadn't thought of using the path tool. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
