maybe this can help? : UVTools by Whaat

Yes, I'm sure that will help. But then we'd be relying on a external application. Which I'm suggesting is to create a range of mapping functions built in Sketchup.
Thank you... I am not sure if I'll be able to map this on Blender or other software, but I'll try.

Hi mhyst,

As Pilou mentioned for your wish-list post, try UV Tools:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23725

It has a spherical and a cylindrical projection tool, too. Best would be to export the parts first and experiment with them "outside" the file then re-inmport them.

Thank you very much.
I'll try

Hello all! I'm new here. This is the first time I post.
I'm working in a model that recreates a chapel and I'm fighting with some textures for curved surfaces.
The most complex challenge I have is the central cupola or dome:

I've been using photoshop to deform the texture in a way that fits, but it appears that I'm not able to do so.
The result is always distorted. I've tried also proyecting from flat surfaces alike, but nothing.

I'm having also problems with the bigger arcs. I get blurred results at both ends. That after deforming the original photograph
to make it straight.

My only hope posting here is that someone has experienced these problems before and is wanting to help.
Thank you in advance

We need a better method to apply texture to curve surfaces. Current method is awful.
