[Feature] Fill only 1 UV Island at a time in the 3D Viewport

[guats 8]

Hey Gang,

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to fill only 1 UV island at a time in the 3D Viewport with freeze or just colour?

Would save me a lot of time instead of hunting down the island in the Texture Editor. The program got into a weird state the other day and was doing this, and I'm unsure if it just bugged out or I found it by accident.

Cheers

HI

Create a UV ID map; make a layer where each UV island is filled with its own random color. Then fill with freeze & paint tolerance the piece you want to work on in the viewport and invert. Clear the freeze to work on the next piece.

Thanks Carlosan, will give it a shot. You are always there for the Coaters.

Appreciate it.

You welcome.

It certainly seems like a very complicated solution for something that is so easy to do in the UV and Retopo room. I hope we can develop a way to select Island in the paint room like those two.

I was thinking about... another way is to use Simply Polygon stroke.

Use it with View > wireframe and view seams (w and shift+w) enabled

This stroke mode allows you to draw masks quickly by selecting polygons.

Ahhh, yeah that's a cool tool. I haven't used it yet. So many things to learn

Thanks again, this should come in handy.

don't know if there's a better solution, but i would be great to just have an option in the fill tool options to limit by uv island

+1 for that feature.
