Can I create my own custom chevron tile template?
You can create custom chevron tiles in Virtual Worlds. Make the tile as you usually would (Creating custom tiles), but note a few key differences.
Catalogue Image
In a rectangular catalogue image, the tile image fits perfectly without white space, but this isn't possible with a chevron pattern. Instead, align the left and right edges of your tile with the image edges. The software will remove any white space when applied in a template.
Dimensions
When using a pre-existing tile template, maintain the same dimension ratio as the original tiles. For example, if the original tile is 360 pixels wide and 240 pixels high, it follows a 3:2 ratio. Any custom tile must maintain this same 3:2 proportion to ensure proper scaling and alignment.
Model
Switch the model to chevron.3DS for the required chevron tile shape. You will find this in your catalogue install location in the Models folder. In this example it was found at ...Virtual Worlds\Catalogue\Tiling\Ca Pietra\Ca Pietra Tiles v1\Models.
After creating your custom tile, you can replace tiles in a template to switch the existing template to your custom chevron design.
