HI,
When working on the medieval roof module that is four units long, I have an issue when extending the roof. As instructed, I went into edge mode, selected the roof edges, hit GG and then C (to turn off clamping) and then extended the edges. Unlike in the video, the roof texture gets distorted. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I’ve included a picture below with the roof extended, so you can see the distortion in the texture.
Thanks,
Leif W.
Very weird effect. Please show the UV map workspace.
Preferably with the affected face selected.
General Q&A note
Help us all to help you.
Please give full screenshots with any questions. With the relevant panels open.
Also, include the lecture time and name/number that is relevant to the problem/issue.
This can be done by Blender itself, via the ‘Window’ menu bar top left hand side.
On that menu drop down is ‘save screenshot’.
Close ups additionally where they help.
Here’s the screen shot you requested. I also wanted to mention that as I slide the edge the distortion worse gets then becomes normal. If I continue to slide, the distortion comes back and then clears. It’s like a pattern that changes between the distortion and normal. I also took a video and will try to share a link as well.

Here’s a link to a video of the issue.
Blender Edge slide issue distorting texture.
Watching that video it just looks like a display lag. The computer struggling to keep up with the live changes.
UV looks ok, no odd shapes or connections.
Do a test render not just the viewport, with the camera looking at that area. Proper Cycles.
(Oh and 2.83 is a bit ‘old’ now. Does not necessarily mean it is relevant to your texture odd display though. But remotely possible)
The face mesh ratios (w * h), must match the UV-Mesh.
Hi FedPete,
Thank you for the response. Please forgive me if I make any stupid statements/questions below as I’m still learning Blender. Something about you statement rings true because the distortion comes and goes as I extend the edge. If I extend the edge and stop while there is distortion, it never clears up. This would indicate that it isn’t a performance issue where the processor is trying to catch up. If I keep on extending the edge, it will get to a point where there isn’t a distortion. This oscillation between distortion and clear image keeps repeating as I extend the edge. I’m wondering when the image is clear that the ratio is correct at that point.
<<The face mesh ratios (w * h), must match the UV-Mesh.
Are you sure you’re using the correct UV-MAp, (object, etc). Just check>>
How can I check the the above as you suggest?
Thanks,
Leif W.
Use the UV-mapping tool.
