Triplanar Mapping
World Space Triplanar Projection Mapping is a technique that applies textures to an object from three directions using the world space position. ... This is also called “UV free texturing”, “world space projected UVs” and a few other names. There are also object space variations on this technique.

What is Triplanar texture?

Triplanar is a new texture node helping you texture geometries without the need of relying on UVs. The Triplanar allows you to specify different textures for each 6 axis: Right (+X) Left (-X)

What is Triplanar?

Triplanar is a method of generating UVs and sampling a texture by projecting in world space. The input Texture is sampled 3 times, once in each of the world x, y and z axises, and the resulting information is planar projected onto the model, blended by the normal, or surface angle.
