THREE.js generate UV coordinate
I am working on importing a model into a scene using the THREE.js OBJ loader.
I know that I am able to import the geometry fine, because when I assign a MeshNormalMaterial to it, it shows up great. However, if I use anything that requires UV…

Automatically generating UV coordinates algorithms
I'm writing my own uv editor for a tool of mine, and I'm trying to incorporate as many algorithms as I can for projections. I need to take an arbitrary mesh, and make uv coordinates for each vertex.
So far, I have planar, and Least Squares…

Placing 2D shapes in a rectangle efficiently. How to approach it?
I've been searching far and wide on the seven internets, and have come to no avail. The closest to what I need seems to be The cutting stock problem, only in 2D (which is disappointing since Wikipedia doesn't provide any directions on how to solve…

How to make a texture always face the camera ..?
Update 5
Created another fiddle to show what is expected would look like. An invisible skydome and a cubecamera are added and environment map is used; in my case, none of these technique should be used for the reasons already mentioned.
var…

Programmatically generate simple UV Mapping for models
Coming from this question I'm trying to generate UV Mappings programmatically with Three.js for some models, I need this because my models are being generated programmatically too and I need to apply a simple texture to them. I have read here and…

In Unity3D, I am following a tilemap tutorial. However, the UV layout is coming out strange. How can I fix this?
I'm following this tutorial set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owBt9SNKXCI&index=6&list=PLbghT7MmckI4qGA0Wm_TZS8LVrqS47I9R to dynamically build a tile map layout. It works to a point, but it generates a very strange layout with 128 x 128 sized…

Multiple UVs/textures for single mesh in THREE.js
I have an OBJ that uses four textures. The UVs defined in the file range from (0, 0) to (2, 2), such that (0.5, 0.5) refers to a coordinate in the first texture, (0.5, 1.5) is a UV coordinate in the second texture, (1.5, 0.5) is a coordinate in the…

Calculating planar UV coordinates for arbitrary meshes
I have code that generates triangle mesh from 2d shapes. Because those shapes in most cases have uneven vertex distribution on the surface I have an issue with generation of UVs so that it wouldn't cause texture distortion. Anybody can suggest some…

Why does TextureCoordinates work as expected for a Viewport2DVisual3D, but not for a GeometryModel3D?
I have a model that I created in 3ds Max. The model is a simple rectangle. Its texture has overlapping texture coordinates--the model should display the right half of the image file twice, side-by-side. I exported this model as an .obj, and…

Extracting Blender Original Coordinates (ORCO)
I've made an exporter (in Python) from Blender (2.5+) to a custom format. What bothers me is that most models I download contain no UV layers but instead are using auto-generated texture coordinates.
The question is: how can I access…

UV mapping not working on imported obj file
I have exported an .obj file (along with .mtl and a .png) from Blender to import into a libgdx project. The file contains both UV and normal data.
I am pulling the file into the app like this:
ModelLoader loader = new ObjLoader();
model =…

Troubles parsing Wavefront .obj texture coordinates
I'm coding my own .obj parser in objc for OpenGL ES 2.0 to get a better understanding on how this OpenGLES thing works. Loading the vertices and showing a model with vertex colors on it works like a charm. Just a small note: I'm using an index…
