Re: OT: Anybody know how to do screenshots in Wing
 

Thanks.

Re: OT: Exports and textures
 

What's the best 3d export option for keeping detail in wings?

Oh, and can you use vertex color to help texture and if so, how?

I checked the wings site, but it didn't seem to be in the tutorials.

Re: OT: Exports and textures
 

What do you mean "for keeping detail"? Exporting a file shouldn't remove geometry; all you might lose is some textures and such.

If I'm not mistaken, vertex colors are basically just an alternate way of texturing your models and in Wings you can't have both vertex colors and UV textures on your models at the same time; you can convert between the two, however, though you will lose detail when you convert from UV to vertex colors as there are many more points on the UV plane than there are vertices in a typical model!

Re: OT: Exports and textures
 

Well, I remember converting one model to .3DS and loading it in wings and at least two of the vertecis seemed to have moved.

No unwrapping? I guess it's time to head into the wild world of texture generation. */me grabs a torch...

Re: OT: Exports and textures
 

What do you mean no unwrapping? Use AutoUV to unwrap your model...

Uh...Where IS my brain these daze? Sucked down the toilet by prescription allergy meds is my excuse.

Re: OT: Exports and textures
 

Ok, I got around to the UVMapper(Was reading a ST vs. SW site) and I've almost got it figured out, except I can't seem to get it to unfold all the way around, I get top-down views and stuff like that. Is there any way to do that except more Groups? Because I've seen textures that wrapped, front to back, I think.

Ok, there's those auvchart colors...But still not automatic.

Ok, so their are some automappers. Don't work very well, though.

It obvoiusly doesn't work off of the Groups set in the main window. I sub-divided part of it and it changed nothing.

It's amazing how those things can suck you in....

BTW, who won?

Re: OT: Exports and textures
 

I'm not through it yet, very technical. The link is in the Char vs Char thread.

Did you know there's something on your head?
