[Plugin] UV Toolkit

thanx , that is great

Thanks Thom, this is exactly what I need!!

What I noticed is that you need to have the orientation of the image file in the model correct. You cannot rotate the texture using hidden geometry on an THEN apply the plugin because it will revert it to the default orientation.

I've managed to rotate the texture of rectangular quad-faces 90,180 and 270 degrees. But I'm experiencing some oddity with quads of an unusual shape. Getting there though. (And yes, it does rotate the texture of multiple face all at once.)

Fast and accurate, you are a great!
I try to stress a little the process with some complex geometries ..... but for now everything seems perfect!
Triangular faces with respect to I have a half idea ... Once I realize the concept I try to give you news!

once again thanks Thomas ...
you are a power!

thomthom

Yea, I've been wondering how to tackle triangles. If you have some ideas that'd be nice.

What's next?
I might merge my Mirror UV Mapping plugin with this if I can get this thing working as I want.

In fact everything is fine until you make the
"Mirror UV Mapping plugin"

sorry, as usual, my English ... I hope is understandable!

base model

fit texture .... OK

the back of the model .... OK

Mirror UV ... very strange never notice problem with this plugin .... probabily is correlate to MAKE UNIQUE TEXTURE

![this fast test seem confirm the idea ... if I "MAKE UNIQUE TEXTURE" of some face the mirror still work perfect](/uploads/imported_attachments/HCt2_005.jpg "this fast test seem confirm the idea ... if I "MAKE UNIQUE TEXTURE" of some face the mirror still work perfect")

WOW! Thank You! Very cool!

@davide.skp
have you tried to group all faces first and then use the mirror tool?
I had this issue with imported trees. Using the mirror tool without opening the group/component worked well - applying it to the faces in the group messed up all uv's forever...

thomthom

hmmm.... do you have that test model still? could you upload it here so I can have a look at it?

btw, where you using version 0.1.x or 0.2.0 for those tests?

I had no problem with rotating the texture on my first example but in the second (tubular) one,with hidden geometry in it, it reverted.

I'll perform some further tests however.

thom, I have the model but the problem happens with all drawing, although groups geometries

As for the triangular faces, however, I think we can solve from the creation of texture ENDOW ...
therefore, if you create the texture, like that crap that attached below ((do not laugh ... please! (on this machine I do not have libraries, and even software))
TEXTURE BE DONE WITH THIS LOGIC
potresti forcing the deformation of the side "red" retaining its position as the pivotal point of the "green" and excluding portions "black"?

thomthom

Ok, it's a bug when the face is not shaped like a rectangle or parallelogram. I have similar issue when I tried to make a function that rotates the texture left/right. This affects both this plugin as well as the UV Mirror plugin.

I must look deeper into how skewed textures works.

Not sure if I understand this. "potresti"?

davide.skp

I was using google translator ... fell like a donkey!

I said that we could adjust the triangle, if it were made with certain criteria, what do you think?

or ... we should not necessarily create a specific texture (which depend on the use if they want to do)
however, the routine should position the texture on the face by adjusting the triangular side "red" at the base of the triangle and the other side the one with the "green" im sure that the "green" is in the middle and coincident with the apex of the triangle ..

I hope you understand! sincerely sorry but use very little English!

Ok, now I understand. I'll have to think a little on that one though. Will make quad-faces work first.

davide.skp

good wrk and tnks

thomthom

Updated to 0.3.0b. Fixed a couple of bugs and added methods to rotate the orientation of the textures and transfer UV mapping to/from either side.

davide.skp

excellent! I tested and it works very well

thomthom

Has anyone experienced oddities when using this plugin? UI stops responding, or Bugsplats upon SU close?

thomthom im sooo glad some ones finally working on mapping, found something yesterday in max that i thought was a cool feature, spline mapping - when u have a curved geometry, draw a slpine along a edge and use the spline to define the UV of the curb, so ur texture runs along the face would be awesome to see that in the future for Sketchup (regardless of how distant) good work so far
