Texture Space manipulation in Blender 2.5

well i trested your sample file and it is working nicely for shift T

but if i make one then it does not work?

is there a place where i can check out if the keys are appropriate ?

but why it works with your file and not mine very strange?

22

There must be a setting you use? Did you try to append the object from my file to yours? this way you can check if it’s a file setting or an object setting (though I can’t imagine what)
…actually I realize the file I posted was the one from you, using that same cube. So it’s a mystery

later edit:
I found the shift+T in the input panel in user preferences. It is in a list called View 3d move modal though I’m not sure what this means :slight_smile: but maybe it helps

new file with one cube from your file with texture space on
and a new cucbe added where i cannot get the teture space to show in view port ?

and texture space is activated ?

what the hec is going on here ?

24

Weird :slight_smile: I opened the file and both objects have the texture space active, shiftT works on both and I can’t see any difference between them

25

ok strange here is what i see in viewport

[ATTACH=CONFIG]139259[/ATTACH]

do you see same thing ?

and i cannot select the cube on the right and see the texture box but the texture space is click in object panel and shif T is not working on that cube ir even the first one!
but i can turn off the teture space dotted line in the object panel

don’t understand why it does not work

by the way i’m on vista 32 bits

on which system are you ?

may be i should report this as a bug ?

got this here

sorry i cannot read you picture for this

26

Don’t think is a bug, your version of Blender doesen’t have the key mapped the same. here it is larger:
File looks the same un my screen. You can see the texture space as a dotted line on the second box too.

see pic

[ATTACH=CONFIG]139391[/ATTACH]

any suggestions ?

thanks

33

It seems your build doesen’t have that key, would suggest you upgrade :slight_smile: I have the same problem with the pan/rotate setting. Actually in Blender 2.49 I went for almost a year at first complaining and not knowing how to change it :stuck_out_tongue: I have it mentioned here, hope it helps: http://blendermama.com/pan-and-rotate-view-setting-in-blender-2-5.html

34

ok so it means i have to redo my set up again!

i’ll do it on next built i download but now it seems it will automatically copy the Start file from one version to the other!
so i have to erase it i guess and loose all my files references!

anyway don’t really have a choice i guess!

thanks

one question, if you play around with the texture-space settings:
What bothers me is the glsl-view of the flat/cube texture-mapping

  • it is far away from the rendered one. The orientation of
    the mapped texture is only similar for some faces - other
    faces are mirrored or show not enough to get an idea
    of the rendered view.
    Question2: Is one use of scaling the texture-space to have
    the same texture scaling if one use a scaled down object?
    Say the object is scaled down to half the original size
    but the texture (like a wood-texture) should stay the same…
36

it was not part of the built i had
and not in 36456 i think

see pic

[ATTACH=CONFIG]139800[/ATTACH]
so where is this third one ?

should i edo my set up from scratch?

ok i reseted my set up to standard
and now the shift t is working ok

now how do i get back the pan rotate change in viewport ?

i know it is in the outliner RNA
but cannot find where i had this note!

and is there a start up file now
cannot find it anymore where is it?

thanks

37

is it here but which one pan and move do i select ?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]139838[/ATTACH]

38

pan = move view but I don’t know how you usually set them. I have the pan on middle mouse button and rotate view with MMB+shift

39

ok solved

got the 2 first RNA var for rotate and move

MMB as pan and rotate as Shift MMB

but which one do i change ?

is there a start up file now may be you can upload yours?

thanks

Hi again! I’m not sure I understand your question, the settings to change are visible in the image you posted. Here is how I set it up. I don’t know where to find startup file
