Tutorial - Join objects without leaving spaces

Dear friends of Sesame Street, today we are going to learn how to decorate by joining objects without leaving spaces between them
I was going to record a video but since hardly anyone would understand my language, we will go image by image. For example, two sheets of green cloth.

1st Step. We put the sheets in parallel.



2nd Step. We place the sheets in the position we want. Since we don't want any gaps, we position them so that they overlap a bit.



3rd Step. We reduce the size of the sheet until it turns green, without moving the mouse even a millimeter.



4th Step. We continue without moving the mouse one millimeter and increase the size of the spread to the desired point.



5th Step. If we have managed not to move the mouse, the result will be this.



And now all that remains is to play with your imagination. Here an example.
If you look closely, the division between the two tables is also almost imperceptible.
This trick works with many objects (not all), such as sheets of cloth, tables, some cabinets, rugs, wall dividers... But usually it only works in one direction, as you can see, parallel sheets are perfect, but between the parallels and the perpendiculars you do see a small groove.

 

that'd be a nice bedroll!

 

Nice guide - just to add if you have a mouse with adjustable DPI on the fly - setting it really low (a mouse with a "sniper mode" toggle works well for this) makes exact positioning much easier

 

Its especially useful for building roads in the POT.

 

Do you get any texture Z fighting when you move the camera around?

 

This sounds very strange translated with Google Translator but I think you mean if you see strange movement in the overlapping areas. If you mean that, specifically in the sheets of cloth and on the tables, no, but on some rugs, yes. In the ones on the screenshot there is no strange movement but in some golden rectangular rugs that they gave us, yes.

 

Yes, weird flickering where they overlap.

 

This was written very well and very clearly. I even learned something new! Thank you. Please do more!

 

This is awesome Isabel, thank you. I now have to go round all my houses and eliminate all those nasty little gaps that I tried really hard to convince myself "aren't that bad" and "you can't really notice it" !

 

Yes, and every time you see them your eyes hurt and you wake up sweaty in the middle of the night because you had a nightmare with that hole that breaks the aesthetics of the decoration that you have built with so much love. I know the feeling, I think most SotA players have some OCD with that
This morning, looking through old UO screenshots, I discovered that my house had a badly placed tile. Now I need to go back 15 years to spin that tile!

 

lol, so true
