      After mapping in 3D max OBJ file also imports without texture.

      Thats's true ? Seems incredible ! I suppose you have choice yes or no ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

        I tested again and recorded video.
        From 3D MAX imported black material without texture.
        But with UVLayout happened.
        Apparently up to this program is not the path to texture. This is strange. I have 5 times the same thing done ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
        I think. texture file must be in the same folder as an OBJ file.

          Can you share the OBJ along with the MTL and textures? Zip them up please?

            thomas i rememember we had the same problems in beta.. the zbrush obj were running fine but the 3dsmax ones gave same problem.
            if i don't remember wrong, you said that was a matter of the texture-files path.. and also i remember you fixed those models in some way.. maybe reloading the texture from sketchp material editor from a new path? can't remember..

            also i remember there was something related to the upside-down flipping, but maybe that was from the zbrush models? not sure.. i'm trying to find those obj models to check the path of the textures..

                Something in your export process hard code the full path to the textures - instead of relatives.

                  Can I select the place where loops are inserted? They usually are inserted at the half of the line you choose, is there any way that would change ?

                    HI Thomas, Just to drop a note that i really did appreciate QFT now that SubD is out and prove to be one of the most useful plugin.

                    Just wondering if we have a "relax tool" in the QFT suite or in any plugin you authored. I hope I know what im saying by relax which means to kind of smooth out the geometry without subdividing it but not destroying the quadface integrity of the model.

                      Probably the easiest way is to add more loops and delete the ones you don't need.
                      Select the ring, then connect edges to create more loops then use the remove loop button.

                          Try that with a more complex shape pilou.
                          QFT doesn't create internal faces either.

                            Not with the Insert Loop function, no. I have been looking into a new tool for this - but its not complete.

                            There is an experimental prototype in the latest versions, but it got some flaws. Need to rethink it.

                                  I'm not sure if I fully understood that sentence. But I assumed you meant that you couldn't see the images? In any case, I went back and re-uploaded the images.

                                      Hi Box and Pilou,
                                      Thanks for the tips!
                                      I tried your method,Box but it gives me some errors here and there when removing the extra loops.
                                      I think the adding loops is better though, as you first insert one at the middle then you insert one in the half you want, and so on. At the end there are fewer loops to remove and fewer errors. It is better to remove the extra loop immediately you created the new one.

                                      Yes, Thomas, loop offset would be a great addition. Unless you can create a loop mover that would move the loop at a specified point after it was inserted-something like moving a section cut plane back and forth.
                                      The Line tool is still unpolishead leaving behind here and there both diagonals.

                                            Hi, great tool, trying to figure it out since i started organic modelling just yesterday.

                                            I cant find the option "Convert Connected Mesh to QuadFaces". I know there are 3 connect options, but none of em are the one im looking for. At least that option is commented in the documentation but in the plugin itself, i cant find it.

                                            Im trying to convert a simple regular model to a quad faced model (to ensure all the faces are at least quad based), and that would be the option to use. Is it not implemented yet??
