past a big pict on many mesh

Ola,

I have a big picture to past over a big model. Many mesh.

For the moment, the image is repeated on each polygon.

Is it possible to continue the same image on many poygones? Or must I cut the image??

Thanks

You just have to set texture coordinates correctly. If all faces have the full 0..1 range then the texture is repeated al the time. Instead, your top-left vertex should have 0.0,1.0 and the bottom right 1.0,0.0 and all the others the interpolated values. Better use a UV mapper for this purpose.

sorry but... what mean this range of value?

what represent 0.0 / 0.1 and 1.0 / 0.0, a position in the picture ?

The complete texture is put into a texture coord space going from 0.0 to 1.0 in both axes. Each vertex is assigned a texture coord which maps that vertex to the location within the texture. The texture fragment that is used to color a face is determined by all texture coords of the vertices of the polygon/face. Because textures are often repeated several times you can also use coordinates other than 0.0 to 1.0 which just wrap around, so 1.2 is the same as 0.2.
