I was wonderign if one of our pros has some tips on how to do UV mapping. Currently I created a notestand and try to UV map is. The problem is, that it is from one piece of wood, which means that the grain of the wood should flow evenly straight up on the pole. When I try to UV map this though the grain sticks in all kind of directions. I also tried to make the faces individually, but of course this is an awfully lot of work to do, and I can't properly aligh the grain over several faces most of the time.

 

So if there are some helpfull things that one should know, now is agood time to mention it. :)

 

Thx. :)

THE free version is fine for low poly UV mapping. The commercial one just means you can unwrap higher poly objects.

If you unwrap with this, you shouldn't have any problems with the mesh flow.

IT would help if you posted a picture of the object and the UV map.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
