OK, sounds like its the plugin and not UVLayout thats playing up. We'll just have to wait for the plugin contributor to respond, or maybe you can debug it yourself???

I'm not that familiar with the Max plugin, but the Maya one is a plain text MEL script, so anyone can mess with it if they want.

As Phil says its more than likely a bug on my end. Lots of things broke when Autodesk changed their export/importer code in max 2009.

I'll take a look at the file and see what i can do. I'd check your obj importer options it sounds like they are messed up. that said the mesh you are seeing must be stand in mesh imported to extract the uv data from.

I will check the files anyway.

Somewhere through the process of sending meshes back and forth from max to UVL something has gone very wrong.

Although the shells are relaxed, it appears segmented in the 3D view. Its also visible in Max.
The only way to fix this is to re UV the mesh.

Hi! I wrote the script that can help with copying texture coordinate back to the object in MAX.
I will be very glad if they will help with texture (object) management in between MAX and UVLayout.
Script is not work with UVLayout, instead it helps with known bug in MAX that makes copying process of texture coodinates from imported .obj file almost impossible (becouse of vertex order is messed up during .obj import/export operation).
How you can work with them: you simply export object/objects to .obj format, open and edit it in UV Layout, then when finished export/update .obj file, import it in MAX (with prefix) and then transfer texture coordinates from imorted objects to original ones.

See the link and demo video for more info:
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/transfer-uv

I`m not tested it hard, but they must work. If somebody here try and test it, it will be very good if you leave comments or bugs about the script.

p.s.: sorry my english ))

Im intriqued, I havent looked at your script yet but how did you get around the way editable mesh and editable poly store NGons differently. This has been whats killing me. I can work with quads and tris fine but the structure of the model changes once NGons are imported. I think editable mesh i triangulating the NGONs at some low level where Editable poly does not do this. Interestingly Max cant seem to handle this transfer even with its own built in UV transfer tools. Very annoying

Hmm I was just wishing that UVLayout could be integrated into max. Then I stumbled on this. Works great for me. Thanks a million!

I am getting Unknown Handler exception.ms and polyop.setMapSupport nNode 3 true is selected in the popup.

The workaround which i explained in a previous post was to add a 3rd uv coordinate. when I do this now all it does is try to start the uvlayout but just ends up coping the mesh on top of the original.


FYI I just got a new machine at work. 64 bit using windows 7. Before when I had a 32 bit using xp professional I was able to make the work around actually work. Now like I said all it does is copys the mesh.

I am currently using Max 9


From the listener window:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\headus UVLayout v2 Professional\uvlayout.exe"
-- Error occurred in UvLayoutSend(); filename: C:\Users\tommy.spampinato\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\9 - 32bit\enu\UI\usermacros\_UV Layout Tools _by hamLT_-rt_uvpipe.mcr; position: 6188

Thanks

Hey Tommy could you try using the un modified version of the script and see if you are still getting this error

Hello everyone, I've seen this in other places in the forum, but I just thought I'd post in this thread to gather the information together.

I was having problems getting the plug-in to work on my new Windows 7 64-bit machine using 3ds Max 2011, but after some trial and error, here is how I fixed things:

    1) You need to open 3ds Max 2011 64-bit as an Administrator - if you don't do this, the drag-and-drop part of the installation instructions doesn't work.

    2) Restart 3ds Max or run the script as instructed, and then add the plug-in to the menu bar as normal.

    *Note* Make sure your copy of UVLayout is registered - I forgot to do this after a fresh install and 3ds Max would not open the UVLayout. I know this step sounds really stupid, but after installing and reinstalling tons of software, it is easy to forget this part.

    3) After installing UVLayout, you should have an icon on your desktop. Right click on this icon -> Properties and set compatibility to Vista (Service Pack 2). Vista and Service Pack 1 might work, but I have confirmed everything using Service Pack 2.


This should fix your problems if you are in the same situation as me.

I just wanted to give my thanks to r_knightly for making this plug-in and especially the headus development team. This program is absolutely incredible and an invaluable part of my modeling and texturing at this point.

r_knightly,


Where can I find a copy of the un modified version of UV_pipe?



Curently I am using Max 9 on a widows 7 64 bit machine.



FYI; I am running UV layout from a .bat file to use a network license. The UV_pipe script is playing along.

Tommy
