Currently Playing: Texture Any Mesh Without UVs — World-Aligned Textures in UE5 (Surface Forge)

🔴[Store, Membership, and Socials]🔴 https://linktr.ee/arghanionprime Every texture you apply relies on one thing: good UVs. But plenty of meshes don't have them — scanned assets, kitbash, anything booleaned together — and on those, your beautiful tiling material smears and tears across the surface. This video throws the UVs out entirely: World-Aligned Textures project the material straight onto any surface, from world axes, with no unwrap required. What's covered: - Why bad or missing UVs smear a tiling material — and why scans and kitbash hit it constantly - What WAT actually does — projects the texture from the world axes (triplanar), per layer, no UVs involved - Enabling it: Use WAT?, World Tiling in real-world centimetres, the XY/Z projection planes, top-down-only for floors, and blend hardness - World space vs local space — why a rotated mesh makes the texture "swim," and how to lock the projection to the object - The trade-offs — it samples more (up to 3× per texture) and you lose UV-based control; UV Breakup hides the tiling - When to use it — bad or no UVs → WAT; good UVs → just sample them, it's cheaper and more controllable ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 SURFACE FORGE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Get Surface Forge on Fab: https://www.fab.com/listings/9d27e228-5ee3-4bb5-a4a2-87ba386cb53a 🔗 Discord support: https://discord.gg/tyKJYwnutr ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📺 MODULE 4 — DETAIL SYSTEMS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Prep Meshes for Displacement: https://youtu.be/jyQCaCJ_eY8 ► Displacement: Nanite vs POM: https://youtu.be/RPEvhresGAk ► World-Aligned Textures (you are here) ► Next — Rain, Puddles & Weather: https://youtu.be/xexeiFxlrPM Full series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3h9_2VztKEGUaAZhacBoBLiK0Xh8FL86 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 QUESTIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drop them in the comments.
