    Looks like dream coming true. Can't wait

    I would like to ask you one thing if possible, please try to do the blender version also, as you said, just because blender can also paint directly the mesh on the unwarped texture.

    The other is Argile , which I have trying on and off for the past 2 years.

      PhotoshopCS4 can open .kmz files and you can paint the surfices and then export again to .kmz and open in SketchUP. Here a quick try

        great suggestion. how did you do it exactly? can't seem to find an option to export it to kmz anymore...

        that seems to be a great way to add detail like rust, stains, dirt...

        but to actually wrap textures around an object it doesn't seem ideal to me...

            Dale, UU3D imports .skp, but no export available, thus your setup will be much better.

            Indeed, need to use some other format and import that back to SU.

            Take look at the end of page "Third Party Plugins".

              It does NOT work on Mac's and there are issues with Vista, apparently it runs great with XP and windows 7.

              that's fine.. anyone without the required hardware/software can just upload here and beg someone to map it for them πŸ˜„

                Whaat, your job is great , but even a simple improved uvmapping tool is appriciated enough, something to have a better cubic, and maybe more options for sylendrical and spherical mapping, maybe a "gost view" for mapping...or something...for me it hasn't been never any serius need to strange organic texturing, BTW your plugin is really great. thanx again Whaat

                  If it's a bridge, and free then I would hope Dale has a link for us users to purchase U3D where he can get some sort of commission. It would be only fair for both him and the company as this bridge opens up a huge market for them.

                  If Whaat could also pay a visit to Asgvis, Next Limit and Random control, we would finally see some decent Sketchup bridges appear for the mainstream render engines. πŸ˜„

                        So, other than Blender, are there any other apps that you would like to see supported by this plugin? I am thinking more in terms of UV mapping apps than 3D modelling packages such as 3DS max, etc.

                                  Argile Please πŸ˜„I know I mentioned it previously πŸ˜’ has uv mapping built in, uv map tweaking and you can paint the mesh with colors, textures, spays etc, would be fantastic companion to sketchup, it does have some sculpture tools and sub divide, but it is really a 3d paint program. (or they call it 3D retouching)

                                    I agree Argile certainly looks simple enough.

                                    Here is a video of the UV mapping process: http://www.n-sided.com/3D/video.php?video=arg_automapper.flv

                                      argile might be the best mac solution?

                                      cheetah3d has some powerful UV tools but that's a full on 3D app

                                      (still, there's probably some cash in it for whoever makes a .skp importer/exporter that works with cheetah)

                                          Whaat,

                                          You mention that this ruby will re-import the UV mapped file back into SU via OBJ format. As SU has no obj import, does this mean that your plugin has it's own OBJ importer? I ask as the only OBJ importer ruby I've come across (objloader.rb) never seemed to work for me- verrrry buggy.

                                          Or did I misunderstand- will your ruby convert to skp from Ultimate Unwrap 3D's native format?

                                          Jackson
