Applying roof tilles on cone shaped roof in Blender? I have problem with applying roof tile texture on a conical roof in blender. I use this image as a reference 



And when I try to unwrap the cone I got this circular shaped projection which is useless with horizontally aligned tile texture.



So Is there any other texturing method or any other option to solve this problem.

Thanks a lot.
I have not unwrapped anything (successfully) before, but here is an idea. In GIMP, open your image:


At the top choose filters>distorts>polar-coordinates and set it up as shown:


It will be easier to map to your cone, and the tiles will point towards the top, but they will be longer towards the bottom I think, so . . . You can try that if you want. :D
