Meowx Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Title pretty much says it all. Is there a graceful way to flatten a connected cylindrical object? Or do you have to kinda hide half at a time while flattening? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 4, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 4, 2010 Why not use cylindrical mapping? No unwrapping needed. Perfect seam at the back. No stretched splines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowx Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 ...I knew that. Was just testing you! *whistles innocently* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 4, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 4, 2010 BTW, you can use cylindrical mapping to simplify lots of unwrapping tasks. Works great with A:MPaint. Here's a link to a link... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=319183 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowx Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hey, nice, I hadn't realized how well it works with AMPaint. Thanks for the link, Rob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowx Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 One more quick thing, perhaps I'm missing something obvious... is there a way to export the UV view ON the texture map? To, say, paint over it in Photoshop? Multiple passes of my AM manual come up short. Or is this something that you can't do. I've just been taking screenshots of the UV view.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 5, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've just been taking screenshots of the UV view. I think that's it. I guess you can't actually hit the render button while you're in the UV view. If you mean getting one of this peculiar cylindrical mapping method that probably needs some extra step that I haven't thought thru yet, but a screen capture woudl be key there too.
