[REQ] Transform UV's
-
Look at my recent 'TextureRandomizer' tool that's specifically designed to be used on a selection of textured faces...
Let's say you want to move all textures 1 unit to the 'right' [UX] you simply leave all settings at the 'default' which changes nothing, except for the UXmax and UXmin values which you set both to be 1 unit, because the range is now constrained you get all textures jumping rightwards 1 unit.
To apply any 'fixed' transformation to any aspect of the textures of selected faces you just set the max and min values to be the same [BUT not 0 for position/rotation or 1 for scaling etc].
If the max/min values have any range at all then the results are randomized between them - so using UXmax=1 and UXmin=0 will give rightwards offsets anywhere between 0 and 1 unit, averaging 0.5 units...

By chance, I am finishing a new Plugin, called ThruPaint, that manages transformation of textures.
My initial intention was to extend the native SU Paint tool to paint across the boundary of components and groups. However, I quickly bumped into the problem of texture continuity and added a few functionalities about texture painting.
This is not finished yet, but here is a short snapshot

Oooh, that looks awesome, Fredo!
-
Wow! Looking forward to it...

Fredo!
If that works as well across curved / sculpted meshes then this will be a breakthrough plugin! -

PS: Sorry for the small videos. I can't do better with the limit of 2 Mo. I'll try to make one on YouTube whenever I can.

A futur new hit!
-
WOW!!.... That is amazing! Do the textures get broken up if you export them? Even if they do this still looks great!
-
fredo excellent. When will be available a trial version?
-
Sweet!
What kind of geometry does it work on? Tri & quads?
-
It'll be another excellent tool from Fredo!
Thank you in advance! Finally, mapping complex shapes will be made easy! -
Very nice Fredo! Looking forward to it.
-
Very powerful tool and look forward to looking forward to

The Mesh mode works on pseudo-quads, either true quads or quads made out of 2 triangles. The Mesh simply allows to calculate the U and V directions for texture application.

Am I correct in assuming this plugin brings solid projection to SU?

What are "solid projection" again?

I´ll be keeping an eye on this one for sure. Great job, Fredo! -
Fredo6:How long to see this great tool, thank you!

Are you thinking of 3D textures?

wow! I anxiously await the release of this plugin. So much progress on UV mapping on several fronts.
