Whilst still in object edit mode with both arrows selected, right-click and select "Scale" and "Uniform" from the "Chart operations" pop-up menu. These unruly UV objects need to be scaled to fit the UV mapping space.ġ4. This is a problem because any 2D texture that does not fit in the UV mapping space will not display on the 3D object.
That step solved the orientation problem of the arrows, but now they no longer fit the UV mapping space. Hit "Tab" on the keyboard and enter "-73" into the "Numeric Input" dialogue box to rotate the UV objects clockwise by 73 degrees.ġ3. (Note: Because the AutoUV mapping editor window presents the user with a 2D surface, it is no longer necessary to infom Wings3D which axis the user would like to use for rotation of the selected units.)ġ2. To remedy the situation, right-click (still in object edit mode with both arrow-shaped obejcts selected) and choose "Rotate" from the "Chart operations" pop-up menu. In that case, the arrows should be pointing up instead of diagonally to the left.
WINGS 3D IMPORT TEXTURE SKIN
This streamlining of the current UV map marks progress, but the user might prefer to be able to texture or skin the mesh in 2D more or less the way it appears in 3D. This type of UV map simplification is ideal for objects whose textures, in whole or in part, are mirrored or repeated. The measure taken in Step 10 superimposed one of the UV objects onto the other. Then right-click and choose "Move to" and "Center" from the "Chart operations" pop-up menu.ġ1. Since this unwrapped set of UV coordinates could be simplified and reorganised, the user should begin by deselecting all units via the spacebar, entering object edit mode, and selecting the two arrow-shaped objects in the UV map. Notice that the "AutoUV" mapping editor window features all four edit mode buttons: vertex, edge, face, and object (here used to signify a group of polygons bound by segmentation lines and not necessarily all of the UV coordinates belonging to a complete 3D object).ġ0. This feature is useful when trying to reduce unwanted stretching of the 2D texture across the surface of the 3D model.
Because the Wings3D "AutoUV" mapping editor window only occupies part of the Wings3D application window, one can easily see changes made in 2D reflected in the 3D model. Wings3D automatically generates a tiled and lettered texture (a paradigm of the 3D modelling industry) to display both proportion and distortion when the UV map and texture are applied to the 3D object. The road sign, thanks to the efforts made earlier to segment the model logically, still looks somewhat recognisable in 2D. The first sight of an unwrapped UV map can be disorienting. Please accept my apologies for any loss of image clarity or integrity.)ĩ. (Please note that some low quality JPEGs were used in this segment of the tutorial to keep page loading times brief.
