A couple of quick UV updates
on January 13th, 2010, by benHi all,
Export UV Layout is back in 2.5 and is nicer than it used to be:
Also, you can now edit the right half of a symmetrical UV layout / mesh and then mirror it to the left half:
Anywho, not the greatest examples - just a quick post to let you all in on the joy of having this stuff working! Character texturing is currently going on at the moment so as you can imagine it’s quite handy.

FIRST!! nice tool. mirror editing
January 13th, 2010 at 21:50

speaking of good ol’ scripts… any idea when the “tree from curves” will be back in?

hi Campbell
great work!
a nice tool from the 3d view i’ve always liked is the To Sphere operation. it’d be great to have a To Circle in the UV Editor. when setting up radial procedural textures for spherical objects it would come in very handy.
thanks for all of your outstanding work

Nice
Anybody tried to open the resulting svg files in inkscape?
It imports fine in GIMP, but inkscape either doesn’t support the tag or the blender-export or inkscape-import is broken.

Hey all, glad you appreciate small additions like this.
For people with requests – there are lots of interesting things that can be added in this area, but we’re only adding features when we need them.
Id recommend this as a place where people could start learning to script, adjusting UVs from python is fairly easy.
Heres a template for UV unwrapping python scripts. committed revision 25992.

That sentence in my post should read:
“… but inkscape either doesn’t support the svg:polygon tag …”

@Campbell:
Many thanks, UV layouts exported with r26000 seem to work fine in Inkscape.
One small thing though … There is no check before overwriting existing svg files yet

Nice. Would be great if default UV test grid was more “sohisticated” (with numbers for example). Actually it is hard to guess whether the texture will be upside down or left-right oriented.

interesting…
not that i know anything about UV unwrapping (lol) but that still looks cool 
GO DURIAN T…ok, by now you know what i’m gonna say

The UV export doesn’t seem to work for me. When exporting Blender just crashes on my WinXp. (using build win32, 26137 from Kaeru on graphicall.org)
A previous build from DingTo (r26047) did not crash my system, but the file was unreadable by Inscape…

I don’t know if it was because of the builds or bugs were fixed: build 1246_BF25_SVN_26183 from budonobugei is working. I’m able to open the svg export in Inkscape:-) Thanks!

I had some similar question last year. In doing my occurrence, the most effective solutions are patient and confident. Be realistic bravely, and you will be alright now.

I really don’t accept this post. Nevertheless, I had looked with Bing and I have found out you are right and I was thinking in the wrong way. Continue writing high quality articles like this.
