Hello, @JGregory!

Hey thanks it works now

mrven · November 25, 2019, 7:29am

Great!
On MacOs not available function “Assign Checker Material” with method “Store and Replace”. Unfortunely, sqlite that i use for storing materials not works on MacOS.

Version for MacOS uploaded to GitHub/Gumroad/BlenderMarket

Hi @mrven , I tried in object mode but then nothing appears in the panel:

I’m on Windows 10 btw.

mrven · November 25, 2019, 10:50am

Active object must be mesh with uv. In another case texel density checker panel don’t show

filibis · November 25, 2019, 11:11am

It has a UV, it’s the default cube I’m testing.

mrven · November 25, 2019, 12:02pm

Hmm. Try reinstall addon. I have no idea why may be this issue((

filibis · November 25, 2019, 12:17pm

Allright I got it now, I was checking at UV editing window which doesn’t show anything in object mode but in 3D viewport N tab shows it:

mrven · November 25, 2019, 12:31pm

Yes, it’s okay. Because panel in the uv editor window for operation with uv. While you in object mode you can editing object’s uv.
Panel in 3D view and panel in uv editor - different panels. First for operating with objects and polygons, second - for operating with uv.

Hi. Thanks for the tool. We use it in our studio. I did the same for houdini. I hope you don’t mind.

Hello,

do anyone have issue with Texture Size or is it just me?

As you can see the texture size is 512x512. so I try to turn one of 6 islands from a cube into
256x
128x
64x

256x is equal to 512x (the texture size) (I would use hit “2.56px/cm” to turn the island into 256x)
128x is only 1/4 of the texture size (1.28px/cm)
64x is 1/16 of the texture size… (0.64px/cm

this make no sense. is that a bug or is it normal?

mrven · February 6, 2020, 6:14am

Hello! If You try unwrap default cube it is normal. Because default cube has size 2m * 2m * 2m.

Xelbayria · February 6, 2020, 6:39am

ah I see that’s where 2 came from.

no wondering why 256x is equal to 512x because it went 256 * 2 = 512. of course that make sense now.

what I want to know is how can I make any islands from any type of models have 256x (if i clicked 2.56px/cm) will have exactly 256x in a texture size of 512x

like a cube of 1m x 1m x 1m?

EDIT:

you can see the size of islands from model is 5 meter long. I clicked 0.64px/cm on these islands but higher than 0.64px/cm is useless because it went beyond the bordering of the texture size.

a size like that will give the island 40 pixels of any color. it should be 256 pixels, not 40 pixels. Is there a way to fix around that? or do i have to change the texture size to account for that?

mrven · February 6, 2020, 7:38am

Of Course, you can’t unwrap 5 meter and get more ~1px/cm so the island remains within the UV.
If you want more texel density you need increase texture size or divide big polygons for more efficient packing.
