how to merge the uv maps and the textures?

[Sennacherib 0]

hi, i search a good tut for 3dsmax. i need to merge all the uvmappings and the textures to have one big texture.

i tried the special tool in 3dsmax (i have forgotten the name), but this is really boring, because i need to rescale all the parts, because the previous maps don't have the same size. and the textures are not attached at the new uvmapping. and i don't want to make again all the textures

currently, the model has 6 textures.

btw, i used wings 3d for the uvmapping.

thx

try lithunwrap or there is a solution here : http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=66386

thx, but i need a tut for 3dsmax; o2 is too weird and the models will be also for an other thing

look for a ptm script for oxygen..

it merges several textures into one bigger..

you dont need lithunwrap for that..

[AtStWalker 0]

look for PanTool

[Deftoner 0]

What I do is....

Build the model

Attach all components to one

Convert to Poly

Unwrap UVW modifier

Set UV's with editor

Use Texporter to save the UV's as one image. (I use TGA)

Edit image

Import 3ds file to O2

Select object => press "E"

Set texture path to your file saved as .paa (With Texview2)

Thats the just of it anyways...

I wonder if it's possiblr to make pantool merge textures into one texture bigger then 512x512 ?

[scars09 9]

drag and drop

2048x1024

maybe bigger and im just to stupid, could swear i had it on 2048*2048 once, but didnt get it handled again.

if you cant get it bigger at all, you use an old pantool version i think.

v. 1.3

i can't how to change resolution - no menu items

yes, i merged the 1024*1024 textures for my baby hetzer using Pantool

[RN Malboeuf 12]

i guess you understand that my question is 'how to' not 'is it'  ?  

So how can i change 'new merged texture' resolution ?

get your monitor to a very high res like 1600x1200 or higher and

drag and drop the lower right edge of the window.

2048 is doable. your eyes will hurt after that though.

ive read that certain GPU's cannot process 4096x4096 textures..

2048*2048 is arma limit

My native resolution 1650*1050 - can't get more on LCD.

I see now. I managed to get 2048*1024, but can't stratch it further down. What's up ?

+It's interesting where this resolution is stored - it's saved after relaunch of pantool

I've heard about texmege too

Anybody got a link ?

Well, some form of 3rd-party app is needed because as far as I am aware, the texture merging in the new O2 doesn't work.

it does. so stick to the topic please

[roberthammer 582]

Can u tell detailed info about how u merging textures because i tryed with pantool , i used 2048x1024 and saved as TGA , converted as paa , edited ptm file and used new o2 no work , old o2 no work and Gatebuild has no merge texture option and that makes me crazy

[RN Malboeuf 12]

use old ofp p2 or new o2 RC2 (not three)

[roberthammer 582]

i got Arma O2PE is working on that too?

[RN Malboeuf 12]

you need older O2PE RC2

[roberthammer 582]

THX , can u show me or tell how to do it :?

But PLZ detailed

This an example PTM file:

y=0.000000; TOP LEFT COORD OF THE SMALLER TEXTURE (HEIGHT i.e. from top of texture)

w=1024.000000; WIDTH OF THE SMALLER TEXTURE IN THE LARGER TEXTURE

angle=0.000000;

};

};

w=2048.000000; OVERALL WIDTH

h=2048.000000; OVERALL HEIGHT

alpha=1.000000;

file="SJB_TOSsmg\ump45\UMP45_co.paa"; MERGED TEXTURE FILE

models[]=

{

};

};

};

Anyone got a link to O2 RC2 instead of 3, as the merge function no-longer works in RC3 (good work BIS in breaking it).

I have that what Synide posted link version , i normally using Pantool and create merged tex only 2048x1024 it can do bigger no , but in O2 never worked for me , latetly i was trying to tweak that ptm file but still no succes    PLZ Make a Video how u do it in O2 RC2 version PLZ
