hey hey hey

what about the open beta - will it be ready for xmas??

Stinkie

Rich said 'next month', so no.

Edit: Also, 'next month' may not mean to software developers what it means to us.

Rich O Brien

We could release it this month but Christmas time is not the best time to tackle any issues that may crop up.

I'm gonna commit to January for sure. January 2017.

@stinkie

I'm gonna add you to the test group this week if you've spare time to try it out.

Wow!! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time

Awesome

Much obliged, Rich. Testing will have to wait, regrettably. We're renovating our house. Believe me: I'd rather try out new SU plugins than dig holes for septic tanks.

That being said, if the the eventual release of this plugin is solid, I'll happily buy it.

Thanks. June it is!

Tried Wrap-R (why isn't it called WrapUp?) for the first time today. Is it supposed to work properly with SU2017?

*Gotta watch Rich's vids before I start complaining. *

Any new about this? I'm sure it will be a game changer!
Greetings!

Hello Rich O Brien... any news? I'm impatient ... Wrap-R is the first in my shopping list

Rich O Brien

This month we open up the beta to test as many OS as we can.

But here's a video I did for the current testers showing some of the new functionality...

Rich O Brien

Do you mean will it export the UV layout?

You can export the UVs to SVG so you can scale them to any resolution without pixelation.

Will Wrapper feature some kind of 'render UV template' with alpha (3DS Max terminology)?

My idea is to use Object Painter tool later (upon proper set UV map)

Great!

Very excited for this.

I suspect the Beta will be closed. I'd be happy to participate if you're looking for more users.

jonorman

Second that, beta testing would be nice

SJS66

Wow. Looks good. If you need a complete noob for testing, I'm in. Might be helpful.....can't blame a bloke for trying though

SebastianSztyber

Could you upload part 2-3?

Thank you for testing Wrap-R beta. Do I understand well that after you mark the seams in SketchUp, you export your model to .obj from SketchUp? The .obj exporter will not export the marked seams so of course you will not see them in Wrap-R. The preferred way to do it:

Mark your seams in SketchUp with the Wrap-R plugin.
Select in SketchUp the geometry you want to unwrap.
Right click the selected geometry and from the context menu select "WrapR / Send to WrapR"

Other option:
If you want to use Wrap-R as a stand-alone application. You need to save your model in .skp format and open the .skp file in Wrap-R.

I hope this helps.

Hi Pinoy,
Currently we are concentrating on the development of the Win version. If the Win version will be popular on the market we plan to make a MAC version as well.
