Tom,

Here is the model where I have problem (I get the UV axes, but the texture does not appear).

Might be related to the nil errors people are reporting...

This is the message I get


Error; #<TypeError; nil can't be coerced into Float>
D;/Documents/Doc/AA_SKU/Ruby/AAA_SCRIPT6/TT_QuadFaceTools/uv_mapping.rb;820;in `/'
D;/Documents/Doc/AA_SKU/Ruby/AAA_SCRIPT6/TT_QuadFaceTools/uv_mapping.rb;820;in `point_on_axis'

EDIT: this is with v0.4. I did not upgrade yet

Hi Fredo,

I think you need before placing the texture on the face. Then you can scale the texture. Whether it is possible to be centered I do not know.

Thanks. Once I have the texture on the shape, what should I do next?

How about 0.4.1?
(I'm prepping up 0.5 which included quite a few validations and error catching. Should be more informative when things doesn't work.)

Then you can click the axis (red and green line) to scale it. Or use the VCB.

Hi,

I made another attempt with my Viking ship hull. This tool is really amazing. A small error I could not resolve.

How did you map it? With the UV Mapping tool, or with the UV Copy & Paste tools?

thomthom · 13 Oct 2011, 15:59

I found the cause - you got some messed up geometry there.

Look at this screenshot:

Here I made a left to right selection over the selected quad. Notice the Entity Info correctly displaying 7 entities. ( 2 triangles, 5 edges )

Now look at this one - where I made the same selection around the troublesome area:

Notice there is 20 (!) entities. Something is messed up in your geometry there.

Zoom in to the top left corner of that white and see a whole lot of extra edges and faces

Hi Thomas,

I did it with the UV Copy & Paste tools.

charly2008 · 14 Oct 2011, 13:49

Hi,

I found the error. As Gaieus said, in the enlargement can be seen some additional faces. This I have now adjusted.

charly2008 · 14 Oct 2011, 14:03

Hi Thomas,

I'm still have a few problems with copy and paste UVs. It is probably a mistake from me again. Would you again take a look at it.

It's still some non-quads over at that end.

charly2008 · 14 Oct 2011, 18:08

Hi Thomas,

I thank you for your efforts. I'm sometimes a bit hasty with my questions. In the future I will take a closer look before I ask a question.

Hi Thomas,

Once it has worked with the hull I need help again. I do not succeed, to bring the texture on these relatively simple geometry. As far as I can judge it must be all quad faces in the model. Yesterday I spent two hours trying to find the error in the geometry, without success. Thanks in advance.

Are you using the Copy and Paste function? Or the UV map function?
