      It works? Good - glad it does.

      That last error you posted guides me to where to look. I'll look at the code and see what I can do to avoid it.

        Stunning... You have done amazing work. I hope this will inspire others too. Thank you!

            Has anyone gotten around to try the UV mapping feature?

            I know it has some issues and the UI needs improving.

            What worked and what didn't work? What's unclear and what is not?

              I did some quick tests.

              When using "Unwrap Picked Grid" it'd be nice if it used inferencing.

              Sometimes the texture reverses though I haven't reproduced this regularly.

              Other than that it's nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

                For placing the grid?

                O'RLY? o_O Let me know if you can reproduce it. And even if you can't, post the result?

                Btw, that UV test tile you got there... ?

                          Hmm, for some reason I'm having trouble selecting the V direction.
                          (Especially if I try to click on an outer edge.)
                          Usually, selecting the U direction works.
                          Then for V it doesnt select what I'm clicking on. πŸ˜•
                          When I click the edge on the other side of the selected U edge, "mirrored from the first", it works more often, but the texture isn't applied as I would like. 😞
                          I'm having this problem with every model I tried.
                          SU 8, Windows 7 64.

                            Thank you.

                                  Here's a little library of 10 UV maps.

                                        great to see a video and what amazing work you put into this forum. really well done.

                                        I'm trying this out for the first time and am having some trouble, the problem is that i can put a texture in but then cant change it to a new one

                                        Its basically only works once and you can't map anything else to that shape. or i've missed something. - I'm on a mac

                                        (suggestion - is there a roll over help pop up that can be used that when you leave the curser ove an icon a pop up help describes the function?)

                                          Here is the model where I have problem (I get the UV axes, but the texture does not appear).

                                            fredo,

                                            I painted your mesh first, using eye-dropper and bucket, then 'UV Map Selected' and it seems to work.

                                            but I'm just starting as well...
