[Plugin] UVTools 0.2 Pro (Beta) (Updated for SU6)
-
Well... seems to be amazing. I just tried UVMapper Classic and LithUnwrap, but I think for now I will stick to
It's to hard for me to figure out how to use that uv mapping software. I always thought is more simpler and intuitive

It's to hard for me to figure out how to use that uv mapping software. I always thought is more simpler and intuitive UV mapping programs are generally not very intuitive from my experience. However, there are tons of UV mapping tutorials on the internet and many of them are applicable to different software. It then becomes a matter of figuring out the UI for your particular program.

thank you very much for sharing.
excellent plugins
a question, naive.
can make plugins to map from sketchup?
it work as well as UVtools.rb -
if it works with UVmapper Classic, it should work with Pro.. I'll test that for you later on. (I've been using Pro for years)

I haven't used version 2.5 yet. With my older version, I had to go the menu item 'File->Import->Wavefront OBJ' and then browse for the file.
Depending on the scale and location of the object, it might not be immediately visible in the Blender 3D view. Is there a command in Blender to 'Fit the view to the scene'?
-
Seems a new true gem
@Remus: you have Blender 2.5?

Blender Shortcuts
Seems it's Home -
testing it now.. but it looks like as a sideline, you've created a good OBJ exporter.....
ok. you've created as a sideline, a almost perfect OBJ exporter for Sketchup. (just the naming / save location)
hot damn. UVmapping and OBJ exporting.... you should see the grin on my face!

Thanks, Dale. Will try this with Modo.

Dale, tested with 3ds Max and it worked flawlessly on this teardrop shape using the Unwrap UVW modifier. Thanks for the plugin. It will fix a lot of headaches!!
One of the issues is that once a UV is imported, it does not "stick" to the geometry it was assigned to. For example if I did not like this brick and wanted to replace it with another material, the UV's become scrambled again. Also when I try to undo after importing the UV's, I get a SU crash.

Yeah, I hate that SketchUp does not keep UVs when switching materials. I'll look into that crash, too. Thanks! -
