If you mark the symmetry on the mesh then if you hover your mouse over a shell and tap "S" it'll make the left and right side UVs the same (symmetrical) for the selected shell.

Sometimes I "cheat" ...

Triangulate it manually so it's symmetrical, is what I'd do. It's only a couple of polies. It'd be pretty easy. You could also redo that area so it's only made up of quads. That's more work though. :w ...

I really love how UVLayout gives you perfect pixel density. It's something that's hard to achieve manually (For me at least. Wink

).

With that said, there are times where I want to increase the resol ...

Kim,
I don't think any ill intent was meant. Headus was offering sincere advice and Rich-Art's jab was aimed at Headus, if I'm reading it correctly. Headus offers great support and is the best I've s ...

Try using the "G" hotkey to mark the area you want to separate and, with your mouse hovering over the selected area, hit "enter". Then with "Space+MMB" you can move the detached piece.

The other op ...

That looks incredible! The details amaze me. Did you have a real life pic to go by? That's the only way that I'd be able to come up with something like that. Surely not from my puny immagination. :win ...

Thanks. I just thought that I hadn't figured out how to do it yet. There's a lot I'm still learning.

Phil,
What about "locking the stacks together" so everything in the stack is treated as a single item for locking, unlocking, moving, etc...

Sorry. On the bottom of this page are all of the vids. Also 1.15A and 1.15B will be helpful. I just watched them myself. I'm a bit of a noob too and I'm still learning and working my way through the v ...

You can do that with the "stack" function explained in this video.

UVLayout-Beta-v1.11.mov

Although I'm confused on how, once you have them stacked, you can keep them that way and select both s ...

Thanks for the new build, Phil. Also for the poll to ask our opinions on future features.

Thanks. Now that I know what it is, I can fix it. It is right where I booleaned a couple of pieces together and I'm still learning to do them well.

update: Doh! It helps when you do a geometry chec ...

Someone want to tell me which video explains what the "blue" seams in the Editor window means. I'm guessing that they denote some sort of mesh error/problem (flipped or detatched vertices, maybe?). I ...

I like the idea of flipping diagonals. I've had instances where that would've come in handy. A lot easier than using the aps. "symmetry" feature.

Can you just do plain decal/planer/projection (wha ...

Thanks guys for the welcome and the answers.

Obviously my concerns are for game models.
The multiple materials are used to have varying texture properties on different areas of the model. Transp ...
