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.
in XSI there is “walking the mesh” in the texture editor, which should be fine for a road – without the need to go through a nurbs object. when it works, its pretty cool.

Hello list Recently i was approached by some maya people looking for an old tool in softimage (GASP!) 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 is some kind of automated function using the u and v coordinates which automatically finds the rest of the uv's. This would have been an old tool, ring any bells ?
