[hlp] Lithium Unwrap

Delarosa

how do you assign a group to a new material?

(make two materials, and have two groups... i want one group per material)

Jimmeh

First of all delete all groups

Create the amount of groups you think you'll need (i'll use 2 as an example)

Select the vertices you want for group one and assign them to the first group

Repeat for group 2

Create 2 materials

Select the same vertices as group 1 and assign them to material one.

Select the same vertices as group 2 and assign them to material two.

I hope that makes sense. Its simple, just think of materials as another type of group....

Delarosa

just a hint to myself, i was doing it right... selecting group, right click on material i want..

but you have to have select -> group checked..

I've been using Ultimate Unwrap 3D which is alot better than Lithium Unwrap IMHO.

Its basically an update to it but is not free anymore. It's simpler to use, has more features etc.

Delarosa

it's the same program...
lith is the free never going to be updated again verion...

unwrap 3D is the "this is the best, and will be updated, but you have to pay for it) version.

You put a ) at the end instead of another " <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You may have to pay for it, but its only $40/?20... not much really.

Plus you get free updates for life AFAIK and it's alot faster to mesh with.

what does it have in unwrap 3d that lithunwrap hasnt got?

i might have a look at this

edit: i looked at the demo, pretty impressive, but its hard to find your way around with all those tools, and teh automesh is just for cheatin <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
