Hello!

I need your help. I'm doing a bridge and I have a problem in texture.
I wanted the texture is accompanied by the span of the bridge.

Thanks,

You must create quads for the span of the bridge - then you can use the UV tool to map it.

You must tell CurviLoft to generate Quads.

[mingjae]

Curviloft can do that thing to? great!

but on my PC (SU7), there's no button like yours curviloft,

Check if you have the last version.

[redlerred7]

may I give a suggestion?

a way to convert version 5 (4?) pseudo quads into version 6 (newest).

It's easier for me to use the eraser tool and hide the lines than selecting the lines I want and then changing the properties to make them a quad face

In version 0.4.0 the definition of a QuadFace changed. In order to use meshes from older QuadFace versions, as well as meshes generated by Sandbox Tools, you have to convert the mesh via this utility first.

Not the most obvious - but I figured the early version where not adopted so widely that there would be that many needing it.

Version 0.7 is the latest.

[redlerred7]

I forgot the "or" in "version 6(newest), and I didn't know that the sandbox2quad feature worked for version 5(4?) quads. Anyway, thanks for telling me that. I would never have found out otherwise

I've been meaning to improve the documentations. Will probably do so when I release the next update.
I merged the "Upgrade old QuadFace mesh" function with "Convert from Sandbox" because I wanted to reduce the number of buttons and menu items.

UV Mapping onto Back Faces?

Hi thomthom

Is there a way to get the UV mapping tool within QuadFaceTools to map textures onto back faces as well? I tried using thrupaint from Fredo but the UI is a lot more complex than the UV tool native to quadfacetools. Also it seems to deal with tranformations differently so it's really hard to get the back faces to match the front faces.

I'm thinking this will be useful for mapping textures with alpha channel, e.g. fencing, where you can actually see through to the back faces beyond. Have attached an image as an example.

cheers
