Default UVMAP Export & Live Update

I would like to see more options for the UVMAP...I want exportation of the uvmap with options to export as either BMP, TGA, or PSD ......also want to see other options such as UVMAP Color Optons, Outline options, and size options....

I would also like to see instant live updates between working with AC3d and Photoshop. In other words, I want to see the changes I make in Photoshop instantly in AC3d...

Oh? Which OS are you on? I've used the plug-in before and haven't had problems, although not in while as I usually just use the copy uv to clipboard feature in the coordinate editor.

Also, I just posted this up:
http://independentdeveloper.com/arch..._uv_map_to_dxf

I wrote this awhile ago and I've been meaning to post it. I do most of my textures as vector art. This plug-in will export the uv map to a Corel Draw-compatible DXF file.

Hmmm, me too. Try sending a private message to Dennis; he'll know more about the plug-in.

Yes, I've done some SL stuff. Something particular you are looking for?

Alrighty then...

Well yes, I was wondering whether you made any houses/structures with AC3d for Second Life.....I've made some western objects in Maya and wanted to bring my creations into it..... here's an example of a small saloon I made awhile back..

Unfortunately, I'm behind on my AC3D upgrades. I'm still on 6.1.07, where the plugin still works for me. If you're using a later version, something may have changed where it no longer works...

Hi Gus,

I got around to testing the plugin with the latest version of AC3D (6.2.05), and all seems to work fine for me (Windows XP).

Can you provide some details on what didn't work?

Thanks,
Dennis

I can get the plugin going and all BUT once uvmap is exported there are no uv lines....
