A texture for a tetrahedron

[trivis]

Does anyone knows how to create a texture for a tetrahedron-object. Is there a template somewhere?
I want to create a tetrahedron with a drawing per side of that object.

Thanks in advance,

Trivis

Is it a mesh....prim? Full perm? Did you make it?

Gotta give us more details.

I suppose you mean a prim, not a mesh but I'll cover both just in case:

If the drawings are on a single texture map, UV map it with different islands for each side like this if you want different pictures on them:

If the drawings are separate textures, fill up the whole map and assign each side to a different material/face:

If it's a prim, you probably want the mapping to be like the second illustration and that can be a little complicated. The UV mapping of the tetrahedron is a bit messy because of the way it's generated. It's not impossible though, try something like this:

For the bottom:

• Horizontal scale : 1.15
• Vertical scale: 1.33
• Rotation degrees: 270
• Horizontal offset: 0
• Vertical offset: 0.833

For the sides:

• Planar mapping
• Rotation degrees:
  • Side 1: 352.1
  • Side 2: 0
  • Side 3: 7.9
• Scale and offset depend on object size since it's planar mapping
