[Preview] Wrap-R Video #2
-
kaas, but if the original textures are UV unwrapped onto one of these organic models, the lighmap problem persists?
I mean if we have something unwrapped the second UV channel to lightmap convertion works well?

If you have nicely layout uvs (like in the image) AND the export to obj or fbx doesn't mess them up, I expect Unreal will most likely be able to re-use them easily.

Nice... It's not such a big deal with hard face modelling right?

You're right... though it also relates to the usefulness of Wrap-R...

This video shows how you can mark seams in SketchUp anf it will be unwrapped in Wrap-r when it imports....
...You can also see UV shells getting flipped.
Next is live syncing in SU so you don't need to save-close-open-save-close-open...

Saving multiple UV maps per mesh is on the roadmap.
Whoaa... Hold on!
Are you developing that prior to release or after release?

prior to....
so, technically, would one then be able to save bump maps, etc. (all related to specfic textures) in the sketchup file?
initially I thought this tool would only really benefit organic modeling, but it seems as though it may be of good use for all, especially if you want to contain all your texture info in one place... or am I understanding this wrong?

You're killing me...

no, UV maps and texture maps are different beasts. By having multiple UV maps you could then assign different texture maps to different uv maps. This is typically done in game engines for performance gains.

it will benefit everyone that needs to UV map. Because SketchUp doesn't do it well and the extensions that try to tackle it can only get so far. Hence the standalone app of sorts.

You are really annoying... I want to play with it already!!!! I'm not calm anymore!

Are Tomasz and other render engines developers envolved with this? They could be interested in working together so we can better integrate materials in SU...
Hell I will poke folks at Substance too!

I just came up to the conclusion that you're developing Wrap-R with the single purpose of getting on my nerve!
-
What more alarming to me is that you've only a single nerve! the rest of us suffer from having multiple nerves.
It's easier hit one nerve though.
-
Yes... my nerve looks forward to this!
-
see my latest thread for the newest additions....
-
just one question:
when????
-
Will we be able to add the critical UV Channel needed for Unreal Engine importing?
