For this to be possible, theДЄlgorithm must be trustworthy, and consistently produce great results.

Where artists can reliably forget that UV mapping even exists and go Models you have, the procedure has a stage dedicated to it. Hard surface, soft surface, or a mix, whatever kind of There is no need to set seams, tweak settings, or even inspection of the model, it The Ministry is dedicated to a fully automated procedure.

Professional 3D artists at several different AAA game studios toД®nsure it meets all the demands of 3D artists. The Ministry of Flat isД¬ontinuously developing the procedure with the feedback and support of list of

Painted models, light mapping and procedural materials. Has layed the foundation to create the ultimate UV tool, for 3D Spent countless hours UV mapping and texturing models. Topologies and approaches each one differently. Just like a skilled artist, the procedureДЄnalyses the model and approaches each type of geometry differently to It doesn't follow some simple heuristic, it apply to every model. This is a work in progress so expect some changes.The Ministry's procedure is unlike previous attempts at making an automated UV unwrapper. If the scale of the mesh is not at the size needed, this can be fixed by adjusting the Drawscale (Double Click the mesh > Display > Change value of Drawscale). Assuming you have a room with Lights and a Player Start position, you can now Build the Map and then Play the Map and view the Scene with your favorite Wings3D model in place. Open the Static Mesh Browser and Save the Package again in order to save the smoothing. The mesh will appear smooth after a few minutes of processing. In the Command line at the bottom of the interface type 'staticmesh smooth' and press Enter. Insert the Static Mesh into the Level Editor (Static Mesh Browser Window > Edit > Add to Level or Click the strange icon that looks like an arrow with two legs.) Assuming you have already built a room to hold your mesh, you will notice that the mesh is faceted and not smooth. If you do not save the package the mesh will not be visible at Runtime, even though the mesh is visible in the Editor. Now you must save (Static Mesh Browser Window > File > Save) the Static Mesh Package (.usx) that you have just created. If you want to change the texture of the mesh, this can be done in the Static Mesh Browser by changing the material to the texture that is currently active (Materials > Material > Use). You may need to zoom in or out depending on the size of the mesh.

After the import process is complete the mesh should appear in the Static Mesh Browser. The default mesh 'Name' can be kept (If a mesh with this name already exists in your Package, you will want to change the name.). The 'Group' name is optional (This name can be the same for future meshes as well.). In the 'Import Static Mesh' window that pops up, enter a unique 'Package' name (This Package can contain multiple meshes so the same name can be used for future meshes.). ase file) the file which was exported from Blender. Open The Static Mesh Browser and Import (Static Mesh Browser Window > File > Import > Select the. 3ds) the file that you exported from Wings3D. Start Blender and delete the cube that is in the default scene. Under the export options, Swap Y and Z Axes should be checked. Export (File > Export) your UV Mapped, Soft Edge only, model as a. Learning to use AutoUV is not neccessary, unless you need extra control over the texture. You can use the Snap Image Tool (Tools > Snap Image) for simple models. UV Mapping will need to be added to the model if not already present. You must edit your model if you have been relying on hard edges to support the shape of the model. Hard Edges are not allowed in this method. It also assumes you are somewhat familiar with UnrealEngine2. This process requires that you have Blender and Goofos ASE Export Plugin for Blender. This will allow you to create a Map which will run in UnrealEngine2 Runtime. The process for getting your Wings3D models into UnrealEngine2 Editor is described below.
