        Really a fantastic plugin! I have to say it again! Thanks a lot!

        But i have noticed a problem with exporting textured object for rendering, maxwell in my case...
        The problem is that the exporter writes a seperated material and texture for each face! So with a complex gepmetry this results in thousands of textures and materials.

        My question is now, is it possible to avoid this behavior? I'm painting as QuadMesh.
        Or is this problem maxwell related? I noticed the same thing when i use photomatch for texturing.

        Can anyone say how this works with vray?

        edit: ok, problem solved... disabling texture distortions in maxwell uv export options did it. I thought this would result in distorted mapping but for now it works.

        Thanks again for this incredible tool, Fredo!!!
        Trimble should buy this from you as standart mapping method! 😎

              Hey Fredo,

              Thanks a lot for the great plugin! You are a hero.

              I have a slight problem tho. I used your plugin and in sketchup it looks like this

              http://www.citypixels.be/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sketchup-thrupaint-01.png

              but when I render it in Maxwell Render it looks like this:

              http://www.citypixels.be/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/simpel-huis-render-017.jpg

              The yellow stones in the little wall have become much smaller and the middle part of the street has become darker. Do you have an idea what the problem could be?

              Thanks!

              Pieter

                Check if the two surfaces have the material applied in a different way.
                I suspect that one has the material applied to the face itself while the other has the material applied to the 'container' [group/component-instance] - check this by using 'Entity Info' and selecting the actual faces in each case - the 'mapping' cannot persist into exported formats when applied to a container rather than the face itself... Of course it might be a Maxwell issue with it mis-handing the UVmapping ?

                  Contact Maxwell support - as this is their render engine that doesn't properly process the UV mapping.

                    I have checked, and the two materials are axactly the same. I have the free version of Maxwell Render, so I'll repost this under "extensions & applications". Thanks for answering!

                      I'd still recommend you contact Maxwell - as this would then be something that presumably affects all users. Reporting issues to the developers is important - otherwise it'll never get fixed.

                        Is this plugin for premium members only? If I click the download icon I get a banner.png.

                              I cant seem to texture this irregular surface, it just wont do it, textures wont align no matter what, and they also rotated differently everywhere.

                                The surafce is very 'irregular' actually. Unless it is made of Quads (with Thomthom's convention), I am afraid it cannot be properly mapped with ThruPaint.
                                I would recommend you try with SketchUV plugin, which is more specialized in UV-mapping any kind of surface.

                                    Hi Fredo,
                                    I'm user of Thea4SU plugin and I have found a conflict with your plugin, before to install Thea4SU, ThruPaint worked fine but after, it appears this Error in Ruby Console:
                                    Thrupaint Error.png
                                    I don't know if you can help me, I'll comment it to Tomasz (plugin developer) too.

                                      Oxer,

                                      Thanks for signaling.

                                      Could you type the following in the Ruby console and send me the output
                                      Sketchup.read_default "FredoTools_ThruPaint", "Param"

                                      Thanks

                                      Fredo

                                          Thanks. Did you type the command with Thea installed or uninstalled (because the string is correct)?

                                          Fredo

                                            With Thea installed, I probed to type the command before and after to use Thea4SU and the result in the ruby console is the same.
