New plug-in, "Bake Texture Layout". Download it here:
http://www.independentdeveloper.com/...texture-layout
This plug-in allows you to "bake" a texture from one object to another object with the same geometry but different texture coordinates. It also supports alpha-mapping, so you can bake multiple textures onto the same object.
Useful for:
- Changing UVs after you've already painted your texture without having to repaint the bitmap
- Modding games when you can't change the texture layout on the model, but a different set of texture coordinates would make it easier to paint
- Fitting text to warped surfaces or other projections that would be difficult or impossible to do by hand... duplicate your object, and bake the text with an alpha bitmap from a version of the object with a simple planar projection
