Tip: trying this plugin on an untextured object causes the fastest splat you've ever seen. Zappp - and SU's gone.

Thanks for the comment. This is an easy fix.

Dear Dale,

I have very little experience of rendering and I tend not to texture my models, so I am not too sure how to use a UV tool. By the way, what does UV stand for? If I understand your post correctly, the tool 'wraps' a texture around a curved object by projecting the texture from a plane positioned over and/or under the object. Further, the plane should be positioned so that its normal is along the centreline of the curved object which is itself aligned with the z-axis. Is this correct?

Can one project/wrap textures from a plane over and a plane under an object by dividing the surface area of the object into two along an x-y plane? I imagine a vase with different designs on the upper and lower halves.

Sorry for being so dense.

Kind regards,
Bob

Theres a good illustration of spherical UV mapping there.

And i tihnk UV is just he coordinaet system thats used when applying textures in this way, so thats where the name comes from.
