Hmm... that looks really useful! The "Fit texture Across tagged" tool seems to work exactly as I described, I may try it later.

But this sounds bad:
Select tagged list [...]. This can be useful if you want to make a multi-selection of faces from different brushes, since [...] (if you have a face selected, to select one from another brush you have to select that brush, which looses your face selection).
So, the FTAT feature in QuArK may be not helpful enough after all. 

All I want is a way to make textures smoothly wrap around cylinders in 220 format. Something that can re-align every face on a brush would be a godsend... 

QuArK is unbearably slow and counter-intuitive. Using it for texture alignment won't make mapping easier. 

align a texture the way you want it to tile across the cylinder, select that face in texture application mode and then alt+right click the next face along and it will align perfectly to it. Repeat the process as many times as needed. This works in Hammer and JACK. 

In JACK/Hammer, select face adjacent to the edge, use Alt+RightClick on face you need aligned.

Trenchbroom users you are so screwed. 

You can follow the alt+rightclick with a leftalign, topalign etc. To get the texture positioned quickly after getting the angle right, though this isn't necessary if you already did this to the touching edge. 

Thanks, that helps a lot.

It isn't perfect, because very often a texture needs to be scaled to properly do a full wraparound, but it already helps on a number of cases.

A good implementation would be to select all faces that the texture should wrap around, and alt-right click on the selection. The tool would calculate the full distance that the texture should cover, and scale the texture to make it fit. 

...and I am screwed.

The texture tools in TB suck :( 

I believe Sleep mentioned wanting to get "texture wrapping" in to TB at some point. 

I think my biggest wishlist items for texture work would be:

1. Click on the texture name when a face/brush is selected to find it in the viewer
2. A better way to wrap textures around complex geometry such as cylinders
3. Being able to completely hide textures with conflicting names that have been overridden

I should probably be posting this in the TB thread... 

I posted some screenshots of this a while back. I set it aside due to work and real life. Hoping to jump back in very soon. Started in TB1 and will continue in TB2 RC4 as soon as possible. Work is slowing down for a few months - finally. Some screens.

Lovely id1 vibe. Looking forward to playing :) 

Looking great! I like the use of blood as the liquid here.

I can definitely see e1m3 here!

that looks great! 

 

Ludicrously impressive brush-vehicles are the new crates now. 

 

WTF? Amazing. Is that really brushwork?!? 

yes 

This proves it. Shockingly good. 

can we get an orgy inside that car ? 

OBJ-2-MAP ? :)
