Recently i was approached by some maya people looking for an old tool in

They want to create uv's for a road, and they think there is some kind of
tool in softimage, where if you create a projection for a strip of polygons
on the road, there

I don’t remember the one you describe, but there was a gator-like tool, that
would create UVs on a polymesh from a nearby nurbs surface.
shouldn’t be too hard to replicate in XSI: extract an edge loop, create an
extrusion (nurbs) and gator the UVs from the extrusion to the poly road.

It's weird. I might be missing something else.
I downloaded files from the link 'bitbucket' and tried it, but it's not
working for me. Only the way I could try is opening sample scene, and
modify the water surface... : /

contour stretch interprets the geometry as if it were a grid (with a U and V
direction) – likely deformed in space
walking the mesh lets you drive the layout by indicating the four corners of
this grid.
it works on the whole geometry at once – not on a single strip and the rest by
Hi all,
I'm building a set that will be imported into a game engine ( UDK )
So what I need to do is to create for each mesh a low poly version of
itself, that will basically behave as an invisible geometry physical
entity inside the game engine, means that the player can't go through the
object

Polygon reduction does a pretty good job for this kind of thing really
especially as you can preserve volume etc.
Maybe you just need a basic script?
Select some objects, duplicate, rename apply poly reduction to them?
Would that be enough?

strips, doesn't work well with... anything else :(

unfold, like in softimage, but
Yes, I agree with Simon on this. A simple script that dupes, merges, rename's

so when you open the sample scene, the deformer works. But when you try to

Have you got a grid with a UV planar texture projection on it? If not,
that's what you need. Apply the ocean
@Simon: Yes, for my purpose that would be enough
I'll try by best to create a simple script that allows me to do that, and
also adding a shrink wrap which is a good advice ;)
