      ...I then right click on the model, selected the UV tools plugin and selected spherical map...

      This is the wrong topic then. That's UVTools 1:

      And yes, sometimes that plugin does not work perfectly. Can you attach the model?

        @vidy:
        Thanks, I already looked it up on the first page of the thread and there are the external UV mappers suggested.
        Will look into them.

        @Gaieus:
        Sure Gaieus, I will try to attach the model and see if you can help me out with the mapping.
        Thanks.

        All the best,
        Andy

          Hi Gaieus!
          Apologies for a late reply.
          Anyway, as promised earlier, here's the rock model I have in SketchUp.
          This was generated in Acropora and then imported the mesh in SU.
          AQlso attached is the rock texture.
          Please find out if the "warped" map happens when you apply the texture on the model.
          Let me know what you come up with.

          Thanks!

          All the best,
          Andy

            Forgot to mention - to import the .obj file in Blender 2.5 first open it in LithUnwrap, then save it again as .obj. When I tried to open directly in Blender there is an error.

                    Just an idea that stemmed from another topic on the UV mapping facilities in SU (or lack thereof). Is it possible to call an external program with Ruby, in the same way you can call an image editor in Preferences?
                    If so, it would be really cool if some kind of .ini file could be added to the obj export command, so that exporting the UVs to obj automatically fired up UU3D (for example) and opened the proxy. I know that might not be possible for all UV editors as some don't open obj files, merely import them; but even if we had to write the path manually in some preference file, it would make for a much smoother workflow and effectively give SU an internal UV mapping module.
                    This is a great plugin BTW. I haven't come across any glitches in it yet, in well over a year...even exporting entire people mapped from head to foot.

                        Ooooo!!! I must upgrade. Can it handle V8 files yet? Well somebody recognizes a gap in the market even if Google doesn't...and given the now huge list of import/export formats, there's little sense in Google limiting the export options of the free version.
