[Preview] Wrap-R Video #2

so, technically, would one then be able to save bump maps, etc

no, UV maps and texture maps are different beasts. By having multiple UV maps you could then assign different texture maps to different uv maps. This is typically done in game engines for performance gains.

I thought this tool would only really benefit organic modeling

it will benefit everyone that needs to UV map. Because SketchUp doesn't do it well and the extensions that try to tackle it can only get so far. Hence the standalone app of sorts.

This video shows how you can mark seams in SketchUp anf it will be unwrapped in Wrap-r when it imports....

VIDEO WAS HERE

...You can also see UV shells getting flipped.

Next is live syncing in SU so you don't need to save-close-open-save-close-open...

You are really annoying... I want to play with it already!!!! I'm not calm anymore!

Are you developing that prior to release or after release?

prior to....

Are Tomasz and other render engines developers envolved with this? They could be interested in working together so we can better integrate materials in SU...

Hell I will poke folks at Substance too!

I just came up to the conclusion that you're developing Wrap-R with the single purpose of getting on my nerve!

Rich O Brien · 7 Mar 2016, 16:05

What more alarming to me is that you've only a single nerve! the rest of us suffer from having multiple nerves.

It's easier hit one nerve though.

JQL · 7 Mar 2016, 16:42

Yes... my nerve looks forward to this!

Rich O Brien · 7 Mar 2016, 16:45

see my latest thread for the newest additions....

just one question:

when????

valerostudio · 26 Aug 2016, 13:13

Will we be able to add the critical UV Channel needed for Unreal Engine importing?

Ditto for Unity. Having a separate channel for UV's would be great.

Rich O Brien · 9 Dec 2016, 15:05

UV channels are planned but not for the first release.

Everyone will get to play next month when we do an open beta

Stinkie · 9 Dec 2016, 15:53

This better be good. Or else!

It's as good as waffles and beer

Stinkie · 9 Dec 2016, 18:25

Oooh.

bsfranza · 13 Dec 2016, 17:28

hey hey hey

what about the open beta - will it be ready for xmas??

Stinkie · 13 Dec 2016, 18:20

Rich said 'next month', so no.

Edit: Also, 'next month' may not mean to software developers what it means to us.

Rich O Brien · 13 Dec 2016, 18:46

We could release it this month but Christmas time is not the best time to tackle any issues that may crop up.

I'm gonna commit to January for sure. January 2017.

@stinkie

I'm gonna add you to the test group this week if you've spare time to try it out.

jfa · 28 Dec 2016, 07:38

Wow!! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time

Awesome

Much obliged, Rich. Testing will have to wait, regrettably. We're renovating our house. Believe me: I'd rather try out new SU plugins than dig holes for septic tanks.

That being said, if the the eventual release of this plugin is solid, I'll happily buy it.

Thanks. June it is!

Stinkie · 31 Dec 2016, 01:42

Tried Wrap-R (why isn't it called WrapUp?) for the first time today. Is it supposed to work properly with SU2017?

*Gotta watch Rich's vids before I start complaining. *
