Advanced Member David Walters Posted February 11, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi, would it be possible to add a display of a background image or checker to the preview panel in the UV room? Coming from Blender I'm missing this feature. I think it could be added to 3DCoat's UI in a clean way with just a tick box next to the drop-down - something like "Show in Preview" or "Preview Texture" This feature would make it a lot easier to identify which island corresponded to a certain piece of my model. Also if I'm manually tweaking UVs to match an existing texture this would let me line up to key points on the image. Thanks in advance!

Do you mean something like this..? http://www.3d-coat.com/uv-mapping/ Hi, Daniel Thanks for the link, I'm asking for an option so the same checker (or image if you setup one) shown on the model can also be shown in 2D behind the UV islands in the preview window. Instead of just the solid grey colour. Sorry I wasn't clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
