3DS Max, textool plugin, Texel Density, value.

corthus

Hello . Is there anyone here, who uses the textool plugin and can explain some option in this plugin? I don't understand, how texel density works, or rather the units that are given in textool. I have an object and when I click to have the program take texel desnity from my model, I get the following numbers: texture size in pix square = 404, and padding size in pixel: 2688. I wonder if I don't understand something or if I am doing something wrong. Following on from this post, https://www.artstation.com/artwork/qbOqP

The values I have given, are close to 4K(40,48px/cm) resolution or are they higher or lower? How should I interpret the two values ​​that textool gives me?

You can force a value by making sure all of your UV islands are the same texel density (rescale clusters). After that, select all of your uv islands, input your desired value for TD, desired texture map resolution, and right clicking this button. It'll then scale all UVs accordingly with that texture map size, and TD.

Does TexTools 4.10 work in Max 2022? I know that the features were integrated years ago, except this Get/Set Texel ratio and the absolute numeric input. Both features are very important, I guess.
Or I've overseen them? TexTools 4.10 seems still to work in 2022 (though it's discontinued since 2010) but a RMB to Set only closes the UV Editor. LMB to Get isn't doing anything, too.

I suggest you use Advanced UV Normalizer 2 instead: https://www.polytools3d.com/tools/normalizer/index.html
