I am having hard time finding out how to resize the material. Let's say I got an image of a sign board like this and i would like to use it on my material.  

Not sure why but how can I resize it so that it can fit properly along side the cylinder? 



So far, my material is something like this as shown: 




any advice on resizing the material?

Hi,

perhaps other ppl have better solutions, but what i would do is to extract the UV image (there is a button in the material panel to do this) and then plug your image over it using a photo editor.

Cheers

I tried adjusting the tiling size but somehow it only reduce horizontally but not vertically.

and thank for the advice kevin.S and RobertoColombo 

Leave the tiling at 1 in both dimensions. Your issue is that the UV is different than what your expecting. If you look at the little square in the diffuse channel, you'll see a couple circles and a rectangle. That image matches the UV that is currently on the cylinder. So......Try this.

Double click the diffuse and load your traffic sign image. You'll probably see a corner of it mapped on the circular face of the clinder. It's fine.

Scroll down to the bottom of the texture panel to the UV section.
Set the UV type to Planar, and the align to Z.

Roberto Got it right .. use the image you have and then place it over the original diffuse for the cylinder and then use the UV as a Guide for where you want it placed.  

Each face of a default cylinder has a circle defining its area, and you can cover both with the same image for a front and back appearance.. one will point left and the other right depending on how you spin it.
