Splitting up a texture and UV-mapping different parts to a plane?

Hey guys!

My UV-knowledge isn't the best, but I'm reading up on it. But let's say that I have a procedural plane (supposed to be a house-wall) made from a script (with random length and height between 3 and 10 units), and then a texture that's divided into 4 parts e.g.:

Upper left part is simple wall texture,
Upper right part is a big window,
Lower left part is a smaller window, and
Lower right part is a door.

Now my question is: is it possible to combine the different parts of the chopped up texture and assign to the plane (two triangles)? For example, if the wall is 3x3 units and then have a texture applied to it that's something like:

[wall] [wall] [wall]
[big.wind] [small.wind] [big.wind]
[wall] [door] [wall]

Right now I have chopped up the texture within the script, but don't know how to assign more than one texture to a single plane. Is this way possible? Or should I go in another direction?

 

I suggest you watch quill18's tutorials on youtube, he has a whole series that goes over this.

To answer your question, I don't think you can. You need vertices to assign uv's to and if you only have four vertices you can only have four uv-coordinates meaning one texture. You could try building (and re-building) a single texture in code but I think that's going to be complicated. I used a different method in my project. I build a plane in code with many quads (four vertices per quad) and apply a texture from an atlas directly. Coding-wise this is alot easier IMO, I just look up the correct uv-coordinates using a simple bit of code. It's the same way described in the tutorial.

 

Okay, I see... Then I guess I got my night in front of the TV cut out for me Have watched some of his stuff, but must have missed this part. Thanks for the tip!
