based on Phil's track record thusfar, I'd put my money on 'yes'
(in fact, I already have) Wink

one request id have is when you begin to support multiple uv channel editing could you please still support .OBJ as its so universally supported. If each channel could be exported into its own OBJ file i could easily handle that

Don't worry, OBJ will always be supported!

I havn't read every page of this thread, but did a search on 'wireframe' so i figured it has been wished for/suggested in this thread.

Wireframe mode or a x-ray shaded mode (similar to Maya's x-ray shaded mode) in the Edit and 3D views, so you can cut/weld edges in hard to see places.

ps. thank you for this program it has totally saved me hours upon hours of work! MUCH LOVE to you Phil!

Yes, thats a common request, so I expect it'll happen someday :-) There's a bit of discussion about it in this recent posting ...

Hey Phil,

Just a couple more requests for the edit view in UVL:

1. Object selection in edit view (multiple selection?)

2. Auto-drop feature → this ties into number 1 (after creating shells, select all objects at once and drop... etc.)

3. Object separation feature (when working with models that have dozens of objects, separating them all by hand gets time-consuming...)

The pro version has been working wonderfully! Thanks again for all your hard work.

"1. Object selection in edit view (multiple selection?)"

Click and drag the LMB to stretch a box round multiple shells; this "picks" them and turns them green. You can then move them as a group (with Space-MMB), and a number of other operations (like Optimize) will then operate only on the selected shells. Look for the "Picking" video. Is that what you meant?

"2. Auto-drop feature ... (after creating shells, select all objects at once and drop..."

Aim the mouse pointer at nothing, then hit D, then you can stretch a box around the shells you want to drop.

"3. Object separation feature"

Can you email me a pic of the sorts of models you're working with? I would have thought that automatically moving the 3D pieces apart to remove overlaps might create a confusing mess, but I might see what you mean with an example.

" be able to highlight certain objects ... while still in edit view."

Got it! I've added it to the list :-)

I'm not sure if these have been addressed:
1.The ability to move/relax texture coordinates in 3D space, not just uvspace.
Or, splitting the user window into two windows, specifically 2d/3d space. This will allow you to see what is happening to the pattern in 3d space as you are fixing detailied compressed or stretched texture coordinates.
2. Soft selection move tool with color codes for falloff in texture coordinate/3d space editing.
I'm obviously a new user, but I just want to say "thanks". This little application is going to change our whole process for the better.
Best,
Jeremy

Yes, I hope to have a go at that sometime sooner rather than later.

"Soft selection move tool with color codes for falloff"

Not sure what you mean there. The Shift-MMB combination gives you a move brush that sort of sounds like your request.

"I'd like a little more control over knowing the falloff values ..."

Got it! I've added it to my job tracker here.

I'd like to see a visual indicator of overlapping UVs...
Using Zbrush -creating normal/displacement maps
will crash EVERYTIME with any overlapping UV...

This was Zbrush 2 when I had these problems, and Pixologic
is currently using v3.1

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!

hey,

Me, myself am currently exploring the functions of this uv programm which up until now really suprises me of how good it works. However there are still a few things that i would wish. correct me if they are already on the wish list, but i'd like to see them still Smile

flatten out sculpt tool and other uv edit brushes be able to use in the 3d view, with texture on.

abiltiy to use your own textures Wink

for optimal small edits or whatever, maybe to use even my own nice colorfull happy texturemap

a nice user friendly intertface, also for the eye and a layout of the keyboard and mouse with what functions are bound to which.

this is of course a wish list so!

for nice layout plz look at zbrush or modo Wink
