Title: Smart texture shader meant for wood textures
Post by: I3ordo on 2022-10-28, 01:57:22

 Normally, i would not ask this feature in a "render" plugin's forum but over the years, corona introduced such niche features that i said why not!, this would save loads of time with many much like the UV Randomizer, Multimap, round edges  and so on....

The shader i want to see corona team bring to life is a texture orientation shader, which would automatically rotate/orient  the uv of a texture so that the longer edges of a polygon would define the orientation. This would be very useful as it would as it would be automatically useable on use it on roads , woodwork of the furniture, Ivy leaves etc...  A polygon's UV would be automatically aligned along the longer edges

Why hasn't anyone solved this? Probably the best idea ever since inventing the beer.

This was already requested, it was discussed in our dev team, but unfortunately this is not possible in Corona due to technical limitations.

I did see someone made a third-party plug-in for this very thing once... it was posted on these forums, so I'm sure with a bit of digging it can be found
