having trouble with texturing a roof Hi could anyone help me with this roof? i am having trouble making it look good(Specifically applying the texture to it properly) any tips would be appreciated if the problem is with the way i modeled it then tell me what i could do differently.This model is for a game with the normal maps applied in engine it looks alot better with a dark realistic feel to it, but i am currently stuck on the roof this is my first time trying to model and texture a thatched roof of this sort.

Thanks,
You could try re-doing the seams and unwrapping as in the images below so that you are using alot more of the texture.



When editing the UV islands you may find that you will need to flip one of them in the X axis (select island then sclae in the negative X axis, S X -1 ) to get the red ties along the top to line up with each other.



Different Seams but again overlapping islands:
