      Price is a stumbling block for me too! But how much time would a tool of this flexibility save?

        I've been using SU for about 4+ years now and I must admit that it's very rare that I've needed some special tools for UV-mapping...
        Whaats UVTools v0.1 have helped me accomplish most of what have been needed...
        I acknowledge that price isn't everything and if I believe it will save me enough time (= money) then I'd happily pay...
        In this case I really doubt it...
        For me such a tool should be priced between 20,00-50,00 USD - max...

        What I don't like is the line regarding the pending patent...
        (without wanting to draw any parallel, it somehow reminds me of the patent on the shadow thing in SU, which means that the clipping-bug when shadows are turned on, can't be solved...)

        Cheers
        Kim Frederik

          Hm, I find this plugin a tad pricey too. Besides, Whaat's UVTools 0.2 Pro works great.

              Here's some quick tests....

              Curved surface painted normally
              Curved Surface painted using Projected Texture
              Curved Surface after using 'Create texture' in TGI3d
              UV Map in Image Editor
              TGI3d_4a.jpg

              Here's the file to take a look...
              TGI3d_Example_1.skp

              Another example with a more organic shape...

                  What app you using for the mapping? I liked UV Tool Pro but couldn't get to grip with Roagkill for organic shapes.

                  They're identical BTW πŸ‘

                          And this is with ThomThom's UV Toolkit 2 (a sandbox mesh distorted with his Vertex Edit plugin but can be anything...)

                            What does that one do, keep the UV's as the model is being distorted?

                              Why are you modelling butts? Thought you modelled things from the past not thongs at the rear!

                                    Yes, exactly. Top class plugin, could easily sell for like $ 20 when finished.

                                    Well, this was just for the sake of the UV's distorted and even scaled.
                                    But is your butt chequered that this was the first thing that came to your mind?
