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.
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.

Thank you.

Does that happen every time?
After you've gotten such an error, what do you get if you open the Ruby Console and type load 'tt_quadface.rb'?

Here's a little library of 10 UV maps.

UV Map .skm Library

Here's the pretty one you like...

It does every time.
If I load it from console, it happens this:

Thanks - will look into it.

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?)

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...
