[Plugin] QuadFaceTools

Has anyone gotten around to try the UV mapping feature?

I know it has some issues and the UI needs improving.

What worked and what didn't work? What's unclear and what is not?

Rich O Brien

I did some quick tests.

When using "Unwrap Picked Grid" it'd be nice if it used inferencing.

Sometimes the texture reverses though I haven't reproduced this regularly.

Other than that it's nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

For placing the grid?

O'RLY? o_O Let me know if you can reproduce it. And even if you can't, post the result?

Btw, that UV test tile you got there... ?

Rich O Brien

What about my UV test tile? You don't like it?

Rich O Brien

yes for placing the grid

Here are a couple I use.

Yea I do. I gives a larger illustration of the UV flow.

Hmm, for some reason I'm having trouble selecting the V direction.
(Especially if I try to click on an outer edge.)
Usually, selecting the U direction works.
Then for V it doesnt select what I'm clicking on.
When I click the edge on the other side of the selected U edge, "mirrored from the first", it works more often, but the texture isn't applied as I would like.
I'm having this problem with every model I tried.

Hello, I noticed a error when opening a a second SU instance (if I have one already opened and I want a second one), you can see it here.
Thank you.

Does that happen every time?
After you've gotten such an error, what do you get if you open the Ruby Console and type load 'tt_quadface.rb'?

Rich O Brien

Here's a little library of 10 UV maps.

UV Map .skm Library

Here's the pretty one you like...

It does every time.
If I load it from console, it happens this:

Thanks - will look into it.

great to see a video and what amazing work you put into this forum. really well done.

I'm trying this out for the first time and am having some trouble, the problem is that i can put a texture in but then cant change it to a new one

Its basically only works once and you can't map anything else to that shape. or i've missed something. - I'm on a mac

(suggestion - is there a roll over help pop up that can be used that when you leave the curser ove an icon a pop up help describes the function?)

fredo,

I painted your mesh first, using eye-dropper and bucket, then 'UV Map Selected' and it seems to work.

but I'm just starting as well...
