Support Materials and Textures

Hey all,

I would like to re-texture fabrics (blankets, pillows, cushions, towels, etc). then re-import them into SketchUP.

What’s the best method to unwrap an overlapping blankets or towels, like this, also, could you please, suggest me a plugin to do it easily/properly?

I have copied the steps, shown in this video starting at 35:20, but the unwrapping results I get from unwrapping is something, I simply can not work with.

Hi @mawwwkush,

You’re mesh contains some disconnected faces, but that aside, this is the result of using ‘follow active quads’ in the uv unwrapping:

the proceedure is straightforward, and this video covers it:
