it seems different sides of bricks have different textures

[Great_Puffer]

ive heard it explained as a lighting issue but when you go up close in the editor you see they have different textures, why would you code something like this? it takes more work and makes builds look weird

it isnt a lighting issue, and im not really sure why it does that, but easy fix to rotate bricks
anyways, post in suggestions/issues

oh, i kinda forgot that suggestion & issues existed, sorry!

The textures are unbound from the bricks so they are always the same no matter the scale/rotation of the brick. Post a demo on the workshop so everyone can look at the exact issue.

As for the color difference it seems to be baked in possibly from the original brick renderings. If you rotate a cube as the easy example so the colors match resizing so it is the size it was in the orientation where the colors didn't match you can get what i mean about a baked in difference.

Since even the irregular shaped bricks are also bricks that could have had a slight lighting difference baked in, you can't just rotate say a quarter inner curved brick to the orientation that fixes the baked in difference you will be stuck with the issue.

If you actually found bricks with different textures, that shouldn't be possible since the texturing is unbound and frozen only when placed, post that demo to the workshop so everyone can look at it.

If you want to see the unbound textures in action goto the round category and get something rounded and orient it so you can rotate it on top of what you already have and give it the same color, rotate it and watch it.

After doing some more testing it might not be slight baked in differences but rather bump map orientations reacting to the lighting, if you load this and sweep the sun direction and height, see what you think.

I updated the workshop item to demonstrate the baked in, i assume bump map, it becomes baked in once you place the brick, the material is no longer unbound, once you spawn it in the world it retains the baked in directional info for how the lighting is going to interact with the i assume bump map.

Set bot sun attributes to 45 degrees, spawn the item looking at the sun, put your back to the sun and freecam close so you can see the texture, use auxiliary keys to rotate to see what i am trying to demonstrate, watch the texture of the round part in particular as it leaves original rotation matching the original texture and returns to position again matching visually with the original non moving brick. There are rotated bricks thrown into the center so you can see as their already altered orientation comes around to match with the original brick orientation they match up visually also.
