■ Repeat. You can tile or mirror a material to create a pattern, or select None
for no modification to the map pattern.
You can apply an image and repeat the image as a pattern using Tile. This
effect is used to represent a tiled floor or fountain.
repeated map
Tiling wraps the selected object with the map image. In default mapping,
tiling is active. Because the map is scaled to fit the object, you must offset
the UV coordinates or rotate the map to see the tiling effect. The portions
of the surface from which the image has moved away are filled by other
portions of the map.
Mirrored Map
Mirroring doubles the map and flips the doubled copy. As with tiling, you
can mirror in the U dimension, the V dimension, or both.
