UV mapping: precise&measured mapping

Sorry Dougal2.

To be clear I post two images. i think it's more clear.

hi,

one roundabout way of precise uvmapping- add a plane scaled to brick size,attach it to wall mesh(ctrl+j) ,unwrap,use brick mesh as reference for brick size and scale the uvmap(in uv/image editor window) so that brickmesh uv fits a single brick in your brickwall texture.remove the brick mesh(select one vertex ctrl+l,delete or seperate).

Another way unwrap -project frm view -bounds -now uv fits your bricktexture,scale the uvmap bigger or smaller according to the tiling of texture needed.

ok..it's a workaround but too long...

At the moment I think the quick method is the UVproject modifier...but I actually hope that in the future luxrender&luxblend will support the object mapping.
2 clicks and you could have a quick box,spherical,cylindrical mapping.
