Anyone who has tried to export DEM Earth in the past, will have come across this problem, which was tricky to solve.
- Maxon has some inbuilt tools, but which don't work well without UV's.
- We need an elegant solution to this problem.
- The solution is the GeoReference Tag.
GeoReference Tag has the ability to re-project flat mapping on to UVW coordinates, in realtime.
The following video shows how it is possible to use the GeoReference Tag, to re-project UVW coordinates, to match flat mapping. All this needs is that for you to insert a GeoReference tag into the hierarchy, and link that tag, to a specific texture. You won't be able to tell any difference, which is pretty much the perfect solution. Now your UVW coordinates are re-projecting, in realtime.
Using this method, when you export ( or make editable), your textures will be where you expect them to be, and that problem is easily solved.
TIP: can be abused for other things......
