I am trying to create a Street in Blender. Therefor I used the array modifier and created a sequence. The Street has a material which I created.

When I leave the modifier in the Stack, everything looks how I want it to be. enter image description here

But when I press apply on the Modifier, it changes the fit of my material and makes it look striped. enter image description here

I dont see any reason for that and dont know how to fix it. It would be great if anyone could explain how I can prevent this without leaving the modifier unapplied. Thanks!

Reset to default

This is a procedural texture (not an Image?) If so, it will default to using the Generated texture space. The Generated space measures 0-1 along the sides of an object's bounding box. However (I think inconsistently?), if an object is arrayed, the space takes its scale from the bounding box of a single element. When the Array modifier is applied, suddenly 0-1 is measured down the whole, (now single,) object.

You could use a Texture Coordinate node to put the texture into Object space. Then, you may have to tweak its scale, but it will be consistent, always considering the space of the entire array in Blender Units, (assuming no object-level scale transform,) applied or not.
