Absolute UV rotation? (max)

DeadlyFreeze

I'm looking for a way to rotate UV's from the center of 0-1 uv space.

Max always does it from the local center of the selection and I don't see any way to change it besides trying to manually place it with the freeform gizmo.

Is there some buried function in max that can do it, or a script by chance?

I'm not sure I completely understand you, but could you not use the freeform mode and move the pivot to the point you need and rotate that way?

Or you could use TexTools, the swap UVW XYZ would let you manipulate them easier.

Maybe the modifier UVW Xform will do what you need.

$.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW].unwrap2.rotateSelected (degToRad 45) (point3 0.5 0.5 0)
//rotateSelected takes radians, hence degToRad()

Yep. I use the UVW Xform a lot. Works great.

UVW xform was absolutely perfect, many thanks Eric.
