[Tip] Modeling Macro Unwrap

[smee]

Have found that doing a few little models that a macro can come in really handy.

it turns the poly to a mesh then creates 4 UVW channels with the 4 that are used. If you drag it to the tool bar it will create a button so with one press you can sort a model out

convertTo $ TriMeshGeometry
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
modPanel.setCurrentObject $.baseObject
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
modPanel.setCurrentObject $.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW]
$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.setMapChannel 2
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.setMapChannel 3
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.setMapChannel 4

This might be old hat for some but may help some.

Just copy the quoted and drag to your tool bar, of course you have to have a object to do it on. There's no smilie faces in the quote.

There are smiley faces in the Quote...

Yeah don't delete them couldnt see how to change that bit to plain text

use code tags [CODE ][ /CODE]

convertTo $ TriMeshGeometry
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
modPanel.setCurrentObject $.baseObject
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
modPanel.setCurrentObject $.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW]
$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.setMapChannel 2
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.setMapChannel 3
modPanel.addModToSelection (Unwrap_UVW ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.setMapChannel 4
