 |

Hello, i just installed UVLayout and i was doing some test and this problem came up!
When im done with UVs and pack them, i press Send and the UVs transfer to 3ds Max but they are distorted. Any ideas how can i solve this ? |

I dont use 3ds, but the UVs in the UV edit window look fine, so I'm wondering if you have two cylinders on top of each other? Or maybe multiple UV sets/layers, and the distorted one is being viewed on the mesh but not the good ones as seen in the UV view.

I too am having the same problem. I haven't actually got headus but I am trying it out at my friends house.
I want to buy headus because I like it, but this problem is a big problem.
If I export to obj first and load that into headus and then load the obj into max the uvs are fine, and not distorted, apart from the fact the model comes in lying on it's back.
So I am guessing this problem is to doing with the max script to send the headus to max.
My friend is using 3ds max 2015 and the uvpipe mod by miauu.
I am wondering if it is because the script has not been updated when max 2015 came out.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution. I don't want to buy this product if it can't send to max.
Plus the other problem is that I can't unwrap my 90000 poly model. Headus just crashes on load. |

Hi,
I found out that if I use a different script then I can send the uvs back to max ok.
The only problem is I have downloaded a few and don't know who I got this one from.
I will try and find out and let you know. The script I found only lets you send one object to headus though.
I had a look in the file to see who wrote it, but all it say is rt_uvpipe |

Hi all,
As I said in my last post I have tried a few scripts to get max working correctly with uvlayout and I know which script works, but it does not identify in the script who wrote it. Perhaps if I paste the script here someone will recognise it. This script only works with single objects though, and not multiple.
The ones that don't work in max 2015 are the HamLT one and the miauu. When I say they don't work they go through the actions but some how stretch all the materials. I wish I could learn how to modify these scripts. I know C++ but not how the script language works.

Hi all,
I believe the only script that works for me is the R. Knightly script.
It only loads in one object at a time unlike the newer ones, but it works well.
Like I said the newer ones screw up the uvs for some reason.
Here is a link
http://www.headus.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=402
Sorry it took so long to find the one that worked. It's just I installed 3 or 4 scripts and they all sent back to max, but I found the link above is the only script that does it properly.
Took me a while. I downloaded all the scripts again, and then matched the one that was the same as the one I had in max.
So if you have max 2015 the older script works, whereas the new ones don't. |
