This quick tip is an alternative method of UV projection and unwrapping to Athanasios Pozantzis’s tutorial “Labels for bucket shaped containers. Inspired by Pozantzis’ solution, Ilir Beqiri shares an alternative method for projecting UV’s and unwrapping a tapered cylinder shape. Cinema 4D certified instructor Athanasios Pozantzis (NoseMan) shows us some techniques for unwrapping UVs so that they will apply correctly and easily with just one label shape! An Alternate Method This week on Technique Tuesday, we are going to talk about how you can minimize the distortion on an irregular cylinder like a tapered one.
#UV MAP C4D HOW TO#
How to unwrap the UVs of a bucket shaped container Press this button to distribute all knots uniformly along the spline object.The above passage discusses how compression artifacts appear when designing 3D models with surfaces like cylinders which have curved outer boundaries (top or bottom). This button resets the offset for all knots to zero. This is the radius that is used to draw the knots in the editor.
If enabled the knots are drawn in the editor as white circles. The minimum number is three, the maximum knot count is ten. In the right slider column you can freely place the position of a knot along your spline object. You can simply set an offset for each knot in the left slider column. Knots are points along your spline object that allow you to adjust the U-coordinate. The plugin will be executed automatically when the Spline UV-Mapping tag, the edited object or the spline object are changed. Press this button to force the execution of the plugin. In the projection type “ Line” this parameter let’s you scale the created V-coordinates.Įxchanges the created U and V-coordinates after their creation. This mode will create the V-coordinate based on the distance of the vertex to the spline. For flat geometry like streets use the “ Line” mode. This is the appropriate method for tube-like meshes like limbs or arcs. If you set the projection type to “ Sphere” a spherical mapping is used. Let’s you choose which method is used to created the V-coordinates. Only the data of this tag will be changed. This inverts the selection defined by the linked selection tag.Ī UVW tag of the edited object can be linked. “Force High Quality” will increase the calculation time.Ī selection tag of the edited object can be used to limit the effect of the plugin to the specific selection To get good results anyway enable this parameter. When the “Uniform” parameter is disabled but “Use Spline Intermediate Points” is enabled this may result in too few samples in certain areas of the spline. This spline’s shape depends on spline’s “Intermediate Points” mode. When you enable the parameter the plugin will sample the spline you see in the viewport.
If this parameter is disabled the plugin will sample the “perfect” spline shape. When this parameter is enabled the spline sampling points are distributed uniformly across the spline. The created U-coordinates are set based on the position of the nearest point on this spline object. Adjust your spline to get the best results. The shape of the spline object is the most important parameter of this plugin. When the Spline UV-Mapping plugin is applied all texture tags of your edited object will automatically switch their projection mode to “UVW Mapping”. After you have created the UVs you can simply delete the plugin tag and hand your mesh over to the texturing, animation or rendering pipeline. The created UV-coordinates are stored in an UVW-tag. UV-coordinates will be created based on the shape of this spline and it’s rotation. Create a spline object that follows the shape of your object and drag & drop this spline object into the plugin tag. Simply right click on the object you want to edit and select the “Spline UV-Mapping” tag from the context menu. Real-World Size - when enabled then UV coordinates are calculated in real world dimensions (U Size,V Size) U Size, V Size - user defined values. Make UV Map - option which enable or disable UV mapping. When it is enabled it automatically generates UV map on created object. The U-coordinates are placed along a spline object you define the V-coordinates can be set by spherical or planar projection. UV Maps module is part of every LwCad object which have output geometry. This will allow you to use UV-mapping on meshes that were created with 3D-scanners, metaballs or similar techniques. With the Spline UV-Mapping plugin for MAXON CINEMA 4D you can create UV-coordinates for any mesh simple and fast.
