Placeholder, alignment and scale textures
-
I've created a very small library of lightweight life-size textures that I use as placeholders for the high-rez textures in rendering. They're odd looking, but they allow you to quickly get things lined up right or allow you to see that something's not right with the UVW mapping on your model. They are in US measures (sorry to metric users!) to ensure that when you size the placeholder correctly on your model the finish texture will apply perfectly and be dimensioned correctly when you swap them in your render app.
The are sized in 1", 6", 12", 6' and 12' squares, about 18 of each. Obviously you can name and recolor them whatever you need in SU's material editor in order to better differentiate them.
Hope they're useful!
