Member guats Posted April 12, 2018 Member Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member guats Posted April 12, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Thanks Carlosan, will give it a shot. You are always there for the Coaters. Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 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.
