   texture coords - want to clamp but can't
  I can see a bit of tearing every now and again in my background.I know when people do a skybox, they usually clamp the tex coords to eliminate tearing. My understanding of clamping is that the texture coords have to be between 0 and 1.Currently, my background is a sphere, split into 4 parts. Each part has 1 texture mapped to it. I did this because A) the game art I am using came that way and B) it provides more detail. The kicker is that these texture have been scaled * 3 in order to tile them. So, I don't think I can use a clamped addressing mode will work.What to do?   
  Hi,Correct me if I understand wrong:You have a sphere and a 6-face texture (maybe a cube texture) and you want to render your it like a sky-sphere?If it's you want to do, I can give my sky-sphere render code.   ;Quote:Original post by programci_84Hi,Correct me if I understand wrong:You have a sphere and a 6-face texture (maybe a cube texture) and you want to render your it like a sky-sphere?If it's you want to do, I can give my sky-sphere render code.Nah.I have a sphere that is split into quarters.The top hemisphere and lower, then split those into right and left.Each quarter is textured with 1 texture.The textureing is fine, I just can't clamp, because the texture is tiled 3 times on each quarter.   ;  If I understand you right, you could just clamp your texture coordinate from 0 to 3 in u direction and 0 to 1 in v direction... that should give you the texture three time repeated around each quarter of the sphere...
