                I just felt like teasing you with a screenshot of a new tool I've been working on...

                ( What I'd love to do later on to improve it is to adapt the splits to the geometry around them. )

                                Made it myself. I use it in my template where I have replaced the Googlers with a 1x1x1m standard metric UV mapped cube. πŸ˜„

                                  Nice work with the UV idea. Just so I understand, once you are able to establish the orientation via the quad distribution, you can then use a larger map over the entire surface and have it distribute evenly? It's not going to just scale the texture per the quad boundaries, correct? If it's doing what I think, it's bloody brilliant! πŸ‘

                                    Wait, wait ... just woke up, so let me see if I got this right ... no more distorted textures?

                                      That is correct. But there are limitations to the topology though. It must be free of poles. ( http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?93651-Poles-and-Loops&p=849794&viewfull=1#post849794 )

                                      Not necessarily, mapping a planar quad with edges not parallel to each other will result in a distorted texture. One the other hand, if you triangulate it, then the mapping of the two triangles in the quad be skewed instead of distorted. And that will lead to less problems with render engines.

                                        Important!
                                        This version redefines what a QuadFace is. In order to use quad face meshes used by older versions you must update them.
                                        Tools > QuadFace Tools > Convert > Sandbox Quads to QuadFace Quads

                                            As I recall, you have (at least) two more plugins that do some related stuff. Does it replace any of them? I'm asking to know if I should remove something from what I already have.

                                            Thank you for this one.
