redmotion: Auto-rendermap script (XSI)

12 June 2007

Auto-rendermap script (XSI)

Here is a short script for automating the UV-mapping and rendermapping of any polymesh objects you have selected. Change the parts highlighted in red if you want better resolution textures to be generated (eg:512 to 1024). You can also add further rendermap options here like to render illumination only. The line in green is where the UVs are applied. This can be amended to suit various situations.

All rendermaps are automatically saved out to your project/Rendermaps directory.

Once rendermapping is complete, constant shaders are then applied to all the objects and the textures are reattached to the correct objects automatically.

Switch to textured decal in the viewport to see the result.

(Save a copy of the scene before continuing and use at your own risk)

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.

A lot of times it's hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari. Excellent Blog!

I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing issues with your website. It seems like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my browser because I've had this
happen previously. Cheers

Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own
blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm
looking for something completely unique. P.
S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you're utilizing? I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a honest price?
Cheers, I appreciate it!
