[Plugin] SketchUV - now free
-
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I have released an update to UV Tools called SketchUV.
It adds some notable features including:
- planar mapping
- box mapping
- tube mapping
- Save/Load UVs
- UV transformation (move, rotate, scale)
- view-based projections at any orientation
Also it improves on all of the previous features of UV Tools which included:
- spherical mapping
- cylindrical mapping
- Export/Import UVs to external mapping software
- OBJ export
Thankyou very much to my testers and especially to Rich for the very nice review in CatchUp #9.
Update: Plugin can now be downloaded for free on the Extension Warehouse!
Below is one of several video tutorials that I made for the plugin. You can see all of the tutorials and manual at at the EW page.

That are the results the tutorial videos from Whaat promises?!

I think I need to spend more time on this plugin.

To properly map that sofa you need to unwrap it in an external app. Box map is a viewed based method that assigns textures from 6 views - top/bottom/left/right/front/back.
This is why there is a noticeable break in the texture. Did you try select the area that is misaligned and rotating/scaling the textures?

wow! great!
i think this will be my first paid plugin!

you do not have Artisan? I'd suggest you get that too. -
will this work for mapping cars? and will the maps transfer over to other programs well like Max?
can you optimize UVW maps with it? using all the area on a map for more than one piece of geometry?
-
Tube mapping looks to be a especially nice new tool.
Best,
Jason. -
If only I have bucks I would buy that plugin!
-
Well done, Dale!! I'm going there now to purchase....
-
Woohoo! Great job Dale! A MUST HAVE PLUGIN!
-
Excellent plugin, Dale...
I've always wondered why the Google SU team haven't made better UV-tools...
Well... It's fortunate for you guys, who then have the option to work on various plugins and get some $$...
Nevertheless, it should be a standard in SU IMHO... -
Looking forward to see the models people make with this tool.

I tried to use it on my sofa, but I could not get the result that I am looking for.
I used Box map and planner map, but it did not work.
Can you please help me with this?
I attached SKP file.Thank you.
