Texture offset and repeat settings on Material object #11193
Description
Currently, the only ways to adjust the offset and repeat are to either change it on the texture object or to change the UV coordinates of the geometry. However, there are cases where it would be useful and performant to adjust on the Material.
For example, imagine creating a room where the walls would share a repeating texture - perhaps tiles, drywall, marble, etc. Ideally, you'd be able to use a single texture for all the walls and a single geometry, with each wall as its own Mesh object with different scales, positions and rotations. But if the walls had different dimensions, the tiling pattern would be stretched differently on each wall. To solve this now, you'd either have to make many instances of the texture, each with its own repeat/offset values or you'd have to give each wall its own geometry. It would be easier, faster and more flexible to allow each Mesh to have its own values.
Yes, you could merge the whole room into a single geometry and tweak the UV values. But that's much harder to do procedurally and it doesn't suit cases that require flexibility such as a scene editor. And it's slower to adjust in real time.
