Warning: Dumb question regarding texporter & max8

BigJon · Feb 2006

Well i'm using the trial version of max 8 at the moment, and i've just finished unwrapping a mesh and suddenly realise i don't have texporter installed...

Go tothe website to DL it for Max8 and lo' and behold, there isn't a max 8 version!

How do i get my UVW map into a texture now? Is there another plugin?

Thanks
Jon

tried and tested method : open your UV edit window, make the background black, printscreen, crop it down in photoshop. Infinitely easier than dicking around with plugins

Actually, with Max 8, there is an included Texporter-type feature. In your UV Edit window, click Tools > Render UVW Template.

danr; That did indeed work, but it wasn't pretty...

Slum; Awesome, that worked poifectly. Thanks mate!

Made me laugh too ElysiumGX ... dan, are you stuck in the stone age, or are you joking?

danr · Feb 2006

why would i be joking? It takes about 15 seconds and gets your UV layout into a layer on your texture. Forgive me for not opening a vein into the goblet of 3D science

That's about 15 seconds too long

If you've got Chuggnut's unwrap tools (which you really should have, they've got a bunch of insanely useful tools which will speed up your workflow, honestly), then there's also the handy "Dump Map" button - just set an image size, and hit the Dump button - bingo, perfect size UVs, white wires on black background. That's much faster than changing the UV window's background colour every time :P
