[Plugin] FredoTools::ThruPaint - v1.3a - 20 Oct 16
-
My favourite tool! Though now I have problems in SU2019.
A tiny little surface, such as a chair seat lasted 1,5 hour to paint. Earlier it was cca. 5 seconds.
Every little surface is 1 hour to do.What could happen? I am going crazy...

Could you post or PM me the model. -
Dear Fredo!
It just has recovered!!! I deleted then istalled again the extension, and now it is working as fine as before!!! Maybe it got scared from you:)
Big thanks! -
Good to hear.
Still, I wonder what was creating the performance problem...
-
Me too. Strange, that it did not freeze, it worked, finally it made it - just in one and a half ours. I worked in two files that time, it was exactly the same. I am happy now that it works again:)

Fredo, is it possible to add ability to assign (globally ) front face materials to corresponding back faces AND preserve front faces texture coordinates?

In principle, the UV are mirrored on the backface.
Can you first try FredoTool:ReverseOrientFace to see if this does the job with the good mirroring on the back face.

In my tests your ReverseOrientFace is completely OK on transferring UV's when flipping.
Does it mean you potentially could add my request to ThruPaint or ReverseOrientFace?
Off-topic Minor issue: In ReverseOrientFace I can't make make tooltips work (they are enabled and SU restarted) -
Just to be sure, you want a very unusual behavior, which is that the UV on the other side of the face are different.
In Sketchup, ThruPaint, etc... the flipping of faces or the painting on both sides of a face keeps the UV identical (so that if the material is transparent, you see only one texture).
-
In simple words I need singe click solution that'd take everything I see on front and apply in exact manner to the back (no matter what happens currently on the back, it will be replaced with front textures).
Theoretically ThruPaint is good if you'd start from the scratch and use TruPaint exclusively all the way. -
Do you have an example. I am still not sure of what you want.
-
The same components with the same material applied, but with randomized UV's..
Is it theoretically possible in current SU? Maybe some trick thru dynamic components? -

Component instances behave the same when you paint their elements. And there is no control of UV when you paint their instances. -
Why is there a limit for only 5000 faces interactively refreshed while manipulating with the texture? Sometimes it's not possible to see interactive results on high poly meshes.
-
I could increase the limit, as apparently machines become more powerful.
Still, what it means that you can preview the 5000 faces around the face where you manipulate the gizmo. So It should be sufficient to see what is going on.

I think my GIF screen record above shows that in some cases it's not so comfortable to see what is going on when we've got a highpoly surface. Did you see it? Of course I can make a position of texture I need in other ways. But I was just interested about why did you do such a limitation and ask if it's ok if you could allow us to increase this value.

As you show in the GIF video, the interactivity of the transformation is slowed down when you use a high number of faces.
It's OK for increasing the number, but you may then suffer from a lag as you play with the gizmo. -

How can i enable nodes for non uniform scale
my Thrupaint only has pink node for uniform scale? -

Hi guys, i tried to download but it keeps loading forever and it never actually downloads it. I tried also downloading from the extension manager or directly from fredo tools in skp, but it doesnt work.. plzz heeelp
