What if unwrapping sketchup models was kinda easy....
-
I'm really thrilled about this plugin.
One thought though.
Personally I don't have anything against it but I think the name WrapR might be a bit to cryptic for a lot of people.
At least consider a more descriptive name. -
Will it be based on Roadkill or something completely independent?
The name indeed is not there yet -

I don't think it's criptic but reminds me of rap.
I agree with the naming being different that sketchup derivations if this is going to be an external app that can be marketed to other software. If not, the most evident name to use would be in the lines of WrapUp, but I'm pretty sure you've been there...

Wrapster
Wrap-a-lot
WrapIt

Unwrapido!

"WrapUp"

This looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to its further development.
If possible I hope the price range would be in the Artisan/SubD realm.
I agree, WrapR might not be the name with the most visual lock... Add an "Un" and eyeballs might lock on and stop to read, but still most folks with experience know what wrapping/unwrapping is about.
That and once it's available (it will happen, I hope), people will probably come from all over via suggestions/links in forum posts and other recommendations anyway, so anything "wrappy" will do.And now the waiting game begins...
Is it done yet?
How about now?
Now?
-
How about now.... Is it ready now?
Okay... I'll wait...
-
2 questions.
1- can the resulting uvs be exported with the mesh to obj, either via the app or via sketchup (or indeed via collada) for use in other applications
And
2- what's the name of the music and where can I get a copy?
-
I have another question too... If I make a model using quads, and go to export it as such, with no triangulation, will that mess up the UV coordinates?
I'd imagine that's more of a worry for tiling textures, where in some cases, if you fail to triangulate the model (on export) you'll end up with hundreds of fragmented jpegs of the original textures. I don't think that would actual happen, but perhaps some form of wonkiness on export.
That's not a rational concern, correct?And yeah, I kinda liked the background music too.
BTW... is it finished yet?
How about now?
-
We triangulate the exported mesh.
It's not going to deal with n-gons. Too troublesome.
The focus now is exploring bottlenecks to performance and a genuine user 'want'
If you haven't already please thumb up or down the first post so we can at least establish what active members here feel about WrapR. Thanks.

All meshes tri'd? That's a deal breaker for me. While I'll keep an eye on this, I'll stick to the methods I'm using already to uv map.

I believe that good tutorials/guides to go along will be just as important as the app itself. Despite how user friendly the app will be - visuals in the form of GIFs and videos help a lot to herd people into new workflows. UV Unwrapping is not that common to see in the SU world - but as seen with QFT - once SUbD showed concretely what use they have people gained interest quickly.
-
Definetelly agree with you Thomthom, but UVunwrapping is, probably the ultimate need Sketchup needs fulfilling.
Others will come, sure, but I imagine a lot of users taking a second look at sketchup because of this.
It's a basic need for half the Sketchup world out there, and half the users not using sketchup for CG (video, game design, asset creation, and the likes...) will probably look twice now, with SubD and Wrap'her'up!

I'll buy.... Looks great
I've thumbed you (hold on that sounds nasty) -
Would love to see this app get developed. Perhaps some presenting for medium, novice and pro users. So each setting would have more options???

Well, not sure if I made it clear, but yes... I want this.
Although I was being (in my mind) funny about the "is it ready yet", I really am interested in this, as I'm sure are a whole bunch of other folks are.
Just to clarify...
• Are you asking if there is interest in general or were you really only asking this of the "core professionals" and "general user" input is not really helpful or necessary at the moment?
• Is it okay to ask questions about some of the features that you are thinking of including in this tool, or is it too early and unsure to bother?
I don't want to waste your time asking useless questions, but I'm under the impression the OP was sort of a "what do you think of this and would you buy this" sort of post.
Edited to add.... I didn't get the "thumb up or thumb down" reference... Then I just noticed the little "like/dislike" thumbs at the bottom of the post window... I guess I've managed to ignore those all these years. Sorry, I'm a social media hermit.

goal is to make it easy and powerful

I'm not an unwrapper sort myself, but I imagine this would help make texturing easier for me as well!
