Plugin for correcting texture on smoothened curved surfaces?

zunkian

Hi!
Is there a plugin for correcting texture on smoothened curved surfaces?
If so, which one is it among these plugins?

Thank you.

Hi Andy,

What do you mean by "correcting"? What would be wrong with those textures?

Hi Gaieus,

I imported an Acropora(from Voxelogic) generated model of a rock into SketchUp.
When I applied a texture on this rock model, the distribution of the texture is uneven
so it looks like the texture is pixelated.
Is there a way to correct this with a texture correction plugin?
Thanks.

OK, I see. Texturing organic shapes is not easy in SU as the texture gets appled to the facets in a seemingly disordered way. You can try to use either of these to plugins:

Try spherical projection with the first - the second one requires some external UV mapping programs. Do it in a separate file as sometimes SU crashes.

Hi Gaieus!

Thanks for the reply.
Will check out the plugins links you suggested.
