        That are the results the tutorial videos from Whaat promises?!

          I think I need to spend more time on this plugin.

            To properly map that sofa you need to unwrap it in an external app. Box map is a viewed based method that assigns textures from 6 views - top/bottom/left/right/front/back.

            This is why there is a noticeable break in the texture. Did you try select the area that is misaligned and rotating/scaling the textures?

                really? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ you do not have Artisan? I'd suggest you get that too.

                  will this work for mapping cars? and will the maps transfer over to other programs well like Max?

                  can you optimize UVW maps with it? using all the area on a map for more than one piece of geometry?

                            Excellent plugin, Dale... ๐Ÿ‘
                            I've always wondered why the Google SU team haven't made better UV-tools... ๐Ÿ˜
                            Well... It's fortunate for you guys, who then have the option to work on various plugins and get some $$... ๐Ÿ˜„
                            Nevertheless, it should be a standard in SU IMHO...

                                  I just got the newsletter. No visible link to the review.

                                  I can't find the review via google. (try putting "sketchuv" on there... no hits)

                                  http://news.sketchucation.com/ is a horrible indecipherable mess.

                                        i have tested the free demo but found it to be too slow and lagging for intuitive sculpting and it's still no subD-modeling so the geometry gets broken and the model becomes very large and unhandy... - i prefer subD-modeling in max and export it to sketchup or merge the geometry before rendering.
                                        Real SubD-modeling in sketchup would be incredible!!! Hope dies last...

                                        (maybe i'll integrate silo or voidworld into my workflow - quite nice little modeling apps, but this would be one import/export step more... which holds me back for now)

                                          Hello,

                                          Box mapping will show seams at curving surfaces so it is not ideal for that part of the couch. I recommend using the exact same technique that I used in the tutorial video attached to the first post of this thread (first part of the video):

                                          1. Separate the surface into smaller surfaces using the Path Select Tool
                                          2. Use planar projections on each surface
                                          3. Align them using the UV transformation tools

                                          In the attached video, I actually began with box mapping, and then used the seams as a guide to separate the surfaces. I didn't have to switch the material to the UV Texture but I thought it would help with the alignment.
