How to scale and center a texture?

[Ivan3z]

I want to scale and center a texture.

I found this answer on the forum and it seems to make sense.

How to scale a texture's UV 'from' the center?

If your center = [0.5;0.5], then ((UV-[0.5;0.5])*Scale)+[0.5;0.5] Another words, you just move Center Point to [0;0], scale it and return it to its initial position.

However it does not work.

In the video I try to make the texture four times smaller and place it in the center.
I think the scale works but I can’t center the image.

How to do it correctly?

Thank you so much!!

I would have loved to know how to do it with mathematical operations…

You are absolutely right… I would have loved to know how to do it with mathematical operations… but I am a practical man… that function is wonderful anyway!!
