headus 3D tools

Don't know if this helps,but I use copy UV to stack.
Then lock the pack.

Just for the record.
In the end I chose not to stack,but it does work in c4d
check > use uvw for bump and all works fine.

Thx Phil
It works indeed well for colormaps,where you can stack many shells.
For normal and bumpmapped models this does not work.

Never mind ,I've found it.
They have to be mirrored.

Hi there
What am I doing wrong here?

Thx Rich
2 closest columns were textured with a 1 click bodypaint ,that was cool,no distortion,right away good looking.
3rd was photoshopped already to get the loops less obvious.

thx for the tip.

First finished project with UV and bodypaint.
Crits always welcome.

Very kind of you,thx for your time.

Hope this does not sound stupid,UV is kinda new still.
When importing a torus I get instant this UV>
If I want a marbletexture not to distort all over the torus,is there any use to tweaking this ...

Hi again
What are your insights,how much distortion is acceptable?
How is this handled best?

Thx Phil & Rich.

In C4D open uv mapped model 1 and 2 .(these were OBJ. files)
Select both in object manager and choose FUNCTIONS - CONNECT
Now go to uvview and select all polygons
Lastly choose mapper in UV tools l ...

As you can see object 1 is slightly discolored,object 2 is also slightly discolored.
Got the same result with riptide btw.

Just gave this atry
Conected the 2 objects in c4d export as wavefront obj.
Import in uv layout and re-pack gives this>
That's close to work though,just a little discoloration??
