I can scale the assigned texture. Is there a way to rotate for better alignment

Hi,

Texture rotation isn’t implemented yet.

It changes the scale of the texture, making it bigger or smaller. It doesn’t rotate it.

Ok cool, hopefully something your are thinking about. Also would be nice if you can bring in our own textures. Only 4 options of wood I think is a good start, but hopefully this section can be opened up for us to create our own.

Thanks  
Anthony

The simple is that amplification and narrowing is far enough,so that every piece is the same.Look forward to introducing the ability to add and rotate your own materials.Thanks.

We have a quite extensive list of features we would like to add, additional materials (including more woods) are also coming 🙂 Texture rotation is in the top 5 on our list.

If you use the iPad check out Cadmio! You can rotate the texture in that app and there are a lot of wood materials and color customization options.

I thought it is going to come end of July, isn’t that true anymore?

Works for me also. Hoping one day to have plywood, i.e.: like Baltic Birch (many layers showing on the edge)

Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no control over it, just an unpredictable automatic algorithm which either gives the desired result, or it does not. I expected more from this.
