Question by StefanoSiciliano · Jan 31, 2013 at 07:23 PM · align

How do I align objects in unity 3D?

Hi! I am creating a modular sci fi scene in unity 3D. How the heck do I get walls to align perfectly without any texture tearing? I don't want to have to create the entire scene as one model! I've tried that but it is incredibly difficult to texture it afterwards.

simply... you don't

really ridiculously not simple

you can use a script to calculate the exact sizes of all your meshes and stuff and have the script align vertexes for you

less simply... a crap ton of math

you can set everything's center based on distance from origin and factor in the actual size of the object, which would be very very very difficult and time consuming

simplest

what you want to do is however very easy using something like blender, maya, etc

they all have snapping capabilities that allow you to align everything nice and neat

Lol, Never $$anonymous$$d I found out how to. Using v alone (vertex snapping) and dragging the edges of the vertices to the edges of another model. It works perfectly.

That aligns your objects, but it won't align your textures - which is what you were asking about in your OP.

Texture/UV alignment is best done in $$anonymous$$aya/Blender etc., as Archaismic said.
