Introduction

This script was written mostly to help you quickly lay the UV-map for simple objects

The script exports to disk a copy of the selected object with the new UV map

Each facet of the object is projected onto 1 of the 6 faces of a cube.

For example if a facet of an object is facing the sky, its UV map coordinates will be on the top face of the cube

Here is the UV map for a cube

Use

The script will only operate on selected items in the scene

You may select

- a Figure

- one or many body parts from the same figure

- a single object

Launch the script

Click on the "Do it" button

you will be asked the location and filename for the exported object

for example "c:\mydazobjects\niceUVCube.obj"

Notice that the script suggests an image size for your texture maps

using this size or image ratio, we get undistorted results as shown here

to obtain a simplified texturing template, click on the "Template" button

then specify a location and filename for the template image

for example "c:\\mytemplates\niceUVCybe.png"
