@SavMartin Thank you so much for porting this to 2.8x! And thank you @renderhjs for creating this in the first place. This has saved me from so much pain! <3

when I try to measure texel density or apply the texel I need, the uvs is scaled, but it breaks.

if you make an object from scratch in a new scene, then everything works fine, but this object, even transferred to a new scene, remains with a bug. Why is this happening and how to avoid such problems?

Anyone know why the ‘clear image’ function from the regular Blender bake rollout doesn’t work with Textools? No matter what TT ignores it when it’s unchecked and always overwrites the baked map. Cheers.

@SavMartin Hey, thanks for the port of the addon, it’s awesome. I know you are not charged to develop it or add features, but is there a way to disable the detection of high poly by their modifiers ?
I’m working with name pairing, and the modifier detection just screw it up. Just having a bevel modifier is enough to detect the objet as HP. So the user has not a total control and in my opinion should be a disablable (does this word even exist ?) feature.
@renderhjs So sad you disappeared

[Darknoodles]

If anyone is annoyed of the modifier detection, here is the fix.
Go in the utilities_bake.py file and comment the lines 251 to 260 containing the block

if len(bpy.context.selected_objects) > 1:
    if obj.modifiers:
	 for modifier in obj.modifiers:
	     if modifier.type == 'SUBSURF' and modifier.render_levels > 0:
	          return 'high'
	     elif modifier.type == 'BEVEL':
	 	  return 'high'

or if you are lazy you can download the file here ^^

Problem with installing in Blender 2.82

[Darknoodles]

Did this happen in consequence to my post?
I’m not the developper of the addon, nor the one making the port of it, i can’t be of help, sorry

[SavMartin]

Dowload form here, and install : https://github.com/SavMartin/TexTools-Blender/releases/download/TexTools_2.80/textools.zip

[SavMartin]

No, its because he download from this button :

and must download from here :

[Taros (Christoph Werner)]

All is fine. I’ve pressed the wrong reply button. Sorry for the confusion.

[Taros (Christoph Werner)]

Thank you. Works!

[so3Datel]

Can anybody help me? This problem is still haunting me.

[Darknoodles]

I personnaly don’t use the Texel density from Textools, but i use Texel Density Checker

[AvisParadocs]

Will post my solution in case of freeze when baking highpoly (over 1 million polys) by textools.

It happens because of material restore on highpoly mesh after bake process is finished. To solve that freeze you need to disable face indexing by commenting lines from 157 to 159 in utilities_bake.py. It works for me. Hope it will help someone one make a proper fix for textools in future.

When I press a turn or another button, the error is returned but the action is performed.
In the settings, the New Data checkbox checked, did not help. TexTools version 1.3 Blender 2.82-2.83.
