[Preview] Wrap-R Video #3
-
It's been a bit of a holiday period here with Paddy's Day, then School Mid-Term, Easter Rising Celebrations and Easter all running into one another.
But expect some big news soon...
-
Although it didn't cure my impatience - rather the contrary - THANKS for the update, Rich...
I'm sure I won't get much sleep until "soon" will arrive...
-
As we wait for this amazing extension with bated breath, can I ask a question.
What opportunities does it open for those waiting? What workflows are now availableI'm interested to know what people will use this for. For me I hope to get sketchup and unreal working together (fully as only simple rectangular geometry works at the moment)
Texture unwrapping will be a new discipline for me I know very little about how it fits in to workflows - mine is - sketchup to thea then presentation.
I'm very interested in unreal4 maybe just for fun but a goal would be to present moving visuals.
-
I hope to use it to unwrap models to use in Substance Painter.
-
-
I intend to use it for Minecraft.
-
So Substance painter then .... Thea or render package?
Basic question - as I use 'thea for sketchup' will wrap-r after its unwrapped a model then it's sent back to sketchup for 'thea for sketchup' to render - will sketchup hold this wrapped/unwrapped information?
So this unwrapping is one step further to texturing a model or asset that fredo paint for example, can do?
-
Rich, I'm curious how your tool would treat the attached most primitive ramp. The goal is to place dark strips parallel to expanding side borders seamlessly. Could you post the video?
Another example:

post #5 from below. Could Pap-R apply an un-distorted texture on every turn of the attached cornice?

Any render application will benefit from it...

Of course...
It's a question about the UV- and UVW-mapping... -

Is this what you are looking to do?

this is unbelievable for SU

Thank you! Yes, the result you delivered is what I expected to get.
A couple of notes:- There's strong ripple distortion of the checker texture. It will seen if finer textures (like decking or tiles) will be applied. Ho to fight this issue?
2.We saw lots of tedious manual labor. Do you have any plans to automate somehow the aligning part?
There's by no means any bit of criticism- I only try to clarify the things.

I see a lot more manual work on my current process right now

Ripples are because the texture in the viewport is not a bitmap. here's the result for you to look at...

There's by no means any bit of criticism- I only try to clarify the things.Of course. First we need to nail down to workflow then add the features.

I'd disagree. I replaced the asphalt texture with decking and this here's result. It's important in Archviz and it should be addressed.
-
That's interesting.
I'll look at this.
One thing worth noting is we're only process Tri meshes. Distortions like this are artefacts of such meshes.
But not the outcome we want. Thanks for the heads up.

Fredo's extension is a great tool, but the Substance programs (Designer, Painter and BTM) along with SubstanceTheaConverter gives you much more power to add things like worn edges and other "realistic defects".
However, to do that you need an unwrapped version of your model. That's why Wrap-R is so critically important.
