I seem to have broken something. I was using the old version which was goofy sometimes but mostly worked. The mew one (Uvpipe 2 Beta 1) always crashes when I select the object. See the screen shot of the error.

It looks like something is amiss in assigning materials. I though it might be that the object has no material assigned, but that's not the case. It does.

Hello guys

I'm totally new to this but I'm very fascinated of this software.
At the moment I'm just running the demo but I get an error at while "installing" the Max PlugIn - I don't think it's a big issue but don't get it working.

When I drag the uvpipe_2_beta_1.mzp into Max Design 2011 (64 Bit), it tells me
"Runtime error: Copy error on file: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max Design 2011\UI\icons\uvpipe_16i.bmp"

I already tried to copy anothe icon and name it "uvpipe_16i.bmp" and so.. but it doesn't work. Could you please give me advise how to fix this?

Is there any newer version than the one downloadable in the very first post in this thread? Can't find anything within all the posts.

Thank you !

Thank you for this excellent script.

However for those people who use spaces in their names, there is an issue in that the obj file is not loaded. To fix this you can change line 251 (in the April 19 2010 version).

Old line:

shelllaunch uvLayoutBin (uvLayoutLaunchOptions +" " +filename)

Replace with this new line:

shelllaunch uvLayoutBin (uvLayoutLaunchOptions + " \"" + filename + "\"")

Hi Madin and Nerd3D,

It looks like the AppendIfUnique() function was added in Max 2008 and I think that's why you're getting an exception in Max 9. The work around to this would be to simply make your own AppendIfUnique() function and iterate through the array first to check if the value is unique before appending the matName value.

Alternatively, that function was also in the free AVG Avguard Extensions prior to 2008 and I think it is still possible to get hold of the extensions if you do a Google search.

And again, many thanks to r_knightly because using this with UVLayout now makes UVs a breeze in Max (today in about 3 hours I completed the UVs on a cartoon character, which would normally take me about 2 solid days).

I still have problems using the UV pipe tool where it throws up an error if i do not have UV coordinates on uv channel 2 and 3. My work around is that I manually apply uv coordinates in Max for 2 & 3

I am using a batch exe for UV layout
I am using Max 9 64 bit. Soon we are switching to Max 11 or 12.
I have never been able to get this to work right.

Thanks!

Hello, I'd like to ask if someone can modify this script so a selection of more objects can be imported at once into UV Layout.

I'm willing to make a donation.

Thanks
