AutoUV PROJECT

Am I do something wrong or is a UV map issue?

Someone could help me to understand what is happens?

Vertex colors to uv map?

feeds@yuku.com (Dimitri) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:08:59 GMT

Please could anybody show by a simple step by step way how to transfer the vertex colors (to bake them) on the uv map image? Is this possible? I mean having them, with all their so nice fading effect, imprinted on the resulting uv unfoldment image... Such a thing could be of a very good use for generating dirt maps for example (which may be used as alphas or as uv map editing guides, as well)... I made a search in the threads here but I did not find any clearly put instruction... Thanks in...

Consolidate AUV regions? And some other thoughts.

feeds@yuku.com (pauljs75) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 12:17:53 GMT

I was wondering if there's a way to consolidate AUV regions when charting and using the auto-chart feature.

One of two things seems necessary:

Ability to use regions of the same value as those generated by auto-segmenting. Currently if there's a piece that's segmented to AUV region 108 and I want it as part of AUV region 112, I can't fix that as I can only use AUV regions 1-9. If I could pull up the higher number regions, then I could quickly fix...

AutoUV stopped working

feeds@yuku.com (SabinDoo) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:52:10 GMT

Yes and this makes me sad.

I can't view the uv maps for some of the objects on my model (uwrapped it a few days ago). When I try to, only the AutoUV toolbar opens and Wings freezes. I have used different versions of Wings to work on the model, is that bad? Help!

How come my textures don't export with the model?

feeds@yuku.com (Stratosphere) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 08:24:02 GMT

Well, this is kind of a problem. I'm developing a game and was using wings for modeling and texturing, I got the texture and I think I made a really good model but when i exported to .obj and imported into bleadnder the texture wasn't there. Should I export to another format? Will I have to remap my model in blender? Arrg, this is getting me angry!

UV Mapping Blows My Mind!!!

feeds@yuku.com (rayj00) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 14:43:03 GMT

I seemed to have a mental block when it comes to the UV Mapping concept.

I have this 3D model of a football helmet and I'd like to get a team logo mapped
onto it.

Is there a simple tutorial that will miraculously open my eyes to this process?

Thanks,

Ray

Copy uvs to multiple objects

feeds@yuku.com (Calabi) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:05:22 GMT

I have this thing which is made up of lots of separate objects.

The blade bits are all objects. Is there a way to transfer the uvs for one of the blades onto all of the blades? Or is there some other way of not doing the laborious task of the same job 13 times.

Also is there a way I can keep the...

Vertex Color painting

Possible to preserve spatial relationships?

feeds@yuku.com (pauljs75) — Mon, 18 May 2009 08:53:16 GMT

I know the default in UV mapping is to optimize space usage when creating templates, but sometimes this behavior isn't a good thing. If I have a series of miscellaneous separated shapes (like text) that are part of a single object, when mapped in the default manner - the postions get all jumbled to hell. Would it be possible to add an option for camera mode projection mapping to preserve spatial relationships in the template layout? So if I had something like "Hello" it...

UV mapping report and maybe a challange

feeds@yuku.com (deerwood) — Tue, 05 May 2009 00:22:25 GMT

Dear all,

after a week of work UV mapping I finally ask for your attention.

Please DO NOT jump in with answers early, unless you have a really simple solution. My plan is to report my findings on the UV mapping in Wings3d and I will continue in this thread as good/frequently as I can.

I found it difficult to UV map this model in Wings3D, and I tried Blender and Roadkill too:

Move things only vertically or horizontally in the UV Editor Window

feeds@yuku.com (Hassebas) — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 03:44:33 GMT

I like the UV Mapping possibilities in Wings more and more.
Sometimes however I wish that there was a move 'vertical' and 'horizontal' choice like
in 'scale'. To keep a chart aligned to a certain part of a texture for instance.
The constrain tool is to crude in this case.

Old Subject Draw Edges ... Need Help Dan.

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 10:25:29 GMT

Old Subject Draw Edges ... Need Help Dan.

You have a control in the create texture dialog for the edge options that says

"draw with material" or something similar.
What about draw with Vertex colors ????

Could you add that option ??? I could have sworn that
was in there at some point. But needs to be a gradient draw
that obeys the edge vertex colors.

I could probably even hack up a code snippet for this if you were game

Create Texture for only selected faces?

feeds@yuku.com (ekolis) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:07:04 GMT

Is there any way to make the Create Texture command in AutoUV to apply only to the selected faces or face-groups? Right now it only seems to want to apply to the entire model, which is rather annoying when I'm trying to use different shaders on different sections of my model. I suppose I could split the model into several parts and uvmap each individually, but that seems a bit excessive just to get different shaders on each section...

Edge-Extend

feeds@yuku.com (ekolis) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:33:24 GMT

A while back I was complaining about there being ugly "seams" on models where I used the OpenGL render-to-texture feature. Well, maybe this is obvious to SOME people, but I FINALLY figured out what needs to be done to a texture in order to fix those seams! Basically all I have to do is take every background pixel which is adjacent to a texture pixel, and make its color the average of any adjacent texture pixels. This can be accomplished (sort-of) in this fashion using an image...

Problem: Edges marked for cut being forgotten

feeds@yuku.com (pauljs75) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:31:57 GMT

Found a bug with UV mapping in 0.99.03. It seems that Wings3D selectively "forgets" about some edges marked for cut and fails to do so. Click on thumbnail pic for example.

1. Start with UV mapping an object, such as this wheel & tire combo. (It's one piece.)
2. In...

Persistant Old UV's - Help?

feeds@yuku.com (FranOnTheEdge) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 06:35:56 GMT

I am trying to UV map a model - but after the first map I made for the front of the door - the next map I'm trying to make is for the back of the door.

But when I click on "UVMapping" I don't get options for choosing the type of Unwrapping and the selected faces appear on top of the last UVMap - help?

How do I get wings to make a totally new UVMap for this area?

AUV automatic packing is possible?

feeds@yuku.com (Argoon81) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:53:22 GMT

One thing i really miss from Wings AUV tool is automatic packing of the UV islands, I'm making models for a game and this would be something that would speed up my work. For the ones that don't know this is a tool that packs all the UV islands neatly together inside the 1.1 area, based on the islands size and a percentage given by the user of the space between the islands. Very handy. Is it possible?

Optigon ma man, you would be my personal Jesus Christ if you pull this of....

help?

feeds@yuku.com (marcin wuu) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:03:30 GMT

is there a way to weld two objects without stitching their respective uv charts?

edit: well, if there is, i couldnt find it. So facing tedious cleaning of messed up uvs, i simply brought the object into lightwave and merged it there. Word of advice people - cutting your mesh for uv mapping is not a recommended practice in wings.

Syllable port

feeds@yuku.com (Rohan) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:27:40 GMT

Hi All!
Does project still alive?

I'm from Syllable project. Does anyone heard about it afore? Syllable is not yet another nix, and it's written from scratch. Support POSIX. Syllable have native kernel, FS, GUI, have rich native API. Does anyone interesting in porting Wings 3D to Syllable? There are to many different 3d editors for Linux and Windows, but there are no any for Syllable, so you could try take place in our system. If we will...

LSCM?

feeds@yuku.com (marcin wuu) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 10:28:43 GMT

I was wondering - through how many iterations of LSCM does wing go? and is there a way to make it do it more?
Today i had a simple model to unwrap - a folder - and the wings autouv made it distorted. I dopped it into lightwaves plg and pushed iterations to 10000 and it turned out aok.
Or am i missing something here?
