Code for texture direction change?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Can you tell me a simple GDL code that changes the default direction/orientation of the texture in the material that is applied to an object?
For example we have this:

Material "wood"
Block X, Y, Z

how can we change the direction of the wood, what do we write and where?

Check the description of the COOR command in the "05 AC 12 GDL Reference Guide.pdf' file. It on page 96 in my version.
On Page 97 you will also find some examples for it.

I usually open that image and rotate it in MS paint. Then re-save it as a different name. Then apply the new texture but i am old skool.

Enter "door texture direction" for search criteria and it will give you several threads about this topic with long discussions and code segments in some.

In "GDL_Cookbook" describes how easily you can manage the direction of texture.
