[REQ] Transform UV's

Pixero

I was thinking it would be nice to have a simple plugin to transform the UVs for a selection of faces to move the texture a specified amount in either U or V direction.

Here's how I was thinking it should work:
Select some faces wich have a material with texture on them.
Select the plugin and a popup window appears where you can enter a value for U and another for V.
The plugin would iterate through the selected faces U and V values and transform them the equal amount in that direction.
A positive number would add that (system unit distance, mm, inches...etc) to the U or V value while a negative number would subtract the distance and transform the UVs.

Possible?

Look at my recent 'TextureRandomizer' tool that's specifically designed to be used on a selection of textured faces...

Let's say you want to move all textures 1 unit to the 'right' [UX] you simply leave all settings at the 'default' which changes nothing, except for the UXmax and UXmin values which you set both to be 1 unit, because the range is now constrained you get all textures jumping rightwards 1 unit.

To apply any 'fixed' transformation to any aspect of the textures of selected faces you just set the max and min values to be the same [BUT not 0 for position/rotation or 1 for scaling etc].
If the max/min values have any range at all then the results are randomized between them - so using UXmax=1 and UXmin=0 will give rightwards offsets anywhere between 0 and 1 unit, averaging 0.5 units...

By chance, I am finishing a new Plugin, called ThruPaint, that manages transformation of textures.

My initial intention was to extend the native SU Paint tool to paint across the boundary of components and groups. However, I quickly bumped into the problem of texture continuity and added a few functionalities about texture painting.

This is not finished yet, but here is a short snapshot

Oooh, that looks awesome, Fredo!

Wow! Looking forward to it...

Fredo! If that works as well across curved / sculpted meshes then this will be a breakthrough plugin!

It works with curved surfaces. There are several modes of texturing depending on what you want to do.

PS: Sorry for the small videos. I can't do better with the limit of 2 Mo. I'll try to make one on YouTube whenever I can.

A futur new hit!

WOW!!.... That is amazing! Do the textures get broken up if you export them? Even if they do this still looks great!

fredo excellent. When will be available a trial version?

Sweet!

What kind of geometry does it work on? Tri & quads?

It'll be another excellent tool from Fredo!
Thank you in advance! Finally, mapping complex shapes will be made easy!

Very nice Fredo! Looking forward to it.

guanjin

Very powerful tool and look forward to looking forward to

The Mesh mode works on pseudo-quads, either true quads or quads made out of 2 triangles. The Mesh simply allows to calculate the U and V directions for texture application.
