[osg-users] Texture wrapping for a geometry object

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Dominc,

I don't know where you might have got the impression that you can't
set up texture repeats with geometry - you just using texture
coordinates beyond the 0.0 to 1.0 range and you'll get repeats.
Another way is to use a texture matrix to up the tex coords from 0.0
to 1.0 range to what you want.

Robert.
