Need help to remap the searchlight's beam

03-11-17, 11:47 AM

Hello,

I would like to create a very long beam for the land searchlights. The problem is that the 3D model of the beam is not properly mapped with the texture. Have a look :

So, I would like the texture to be placed correctly on each rectangle which compose the beam model.

Moreover, it seems that a kind of shadow is applied on the model, and I would like to keep this effect. I have added a blue color in order you can see that better :

About the basis (the small circle on the searchlight's head), it has to be plain white (no modifications to do) :

Anyone to do this little work ?

Try it. Was not sure exactly what was going on. part of the 3D overan the edges of the texture. The texture seemed inverted Narrow to wide was opposite?

Thank you for the help, but it's not better. So, I choose a radical treatment, and it's good enough (better than before) :

Does it light up the B-17s Better?

The beams look better, but it's far from perfect.
