uv tools

Ruz

anyone know if there is going to be an update for uvtools3 by andy oakley. They load in max 8 but don't actually work. throws up loads of script errors

Eric Chadwick

They never did much for me, so I uninstalled after trying it out back in Max 5. Is there something you liked about it? Maybe I missed something.

yeash, just copying the uvs from one poly to another, then roatating the uv 90 degrees with one click. very handy

Eric Chadwick

Hmm, but those tools are already in the default UI, no? Copy/Paste (hotkeyable), and the Rotate buttons.

The rotate 90 CW and CCW buttons weren't in the CUI keyboard list for some stupid reason, so I made a couple quickie scripts and assigned them to my keys...

(
unwrapMod = modpanel.getcurrentobject()
unwrapMod.RotateSelectedCenter 1.5708
)

(
unwrapMod = modpanel.getcurrentobject()
unwrapMod.RotateSelectedCenter -1.5708
)

Maybe not what you want. But I like it since I don't have to load a memory-hogging set of totally-unused scripts.

the point with uvtools is that you don't have to add the uv unwrap modifier, just click on the poly, copy and paste or rotate etc, just found them very handy.

Eric Chadwick

Oh... now I get it. That's cool. I didn't realize you didn't need the modifier there.
