Helge. the tool is invaluable for unwrapping UVs on polys. I think of it as a
texture support that can be bent into the shape of my object rather than having
to unfold my object to make it flat in the texture editor. It usually needs
some tweaking afterwards, but 90% of the work is often done this way.
I have missed it a lot when texturing.

cool. let me know if it works.
I am curious as I simply did the tool,
but, to be honest - I have no idea what'll be possible with it...
Created just for the sake of having it... ;-)

Helge, I have used YouMap a lot and would love to have it in XSI. I
went and got your SurfaceTextureSupport tool via XSIbase but get an error:
ERROR : "2027-EDIT-ApplyOp - Invalid preset argument, cannot load
surfaceTextureSupport - [line 52]
What am I doing wrong, do you think? I have a polygonal object with one
polygon cluster with a UV (spherical)texture projection and a Nurbs object with
UV texture.

Hi Helge,
I have been mailing Dave Gallagher about his Youmap plugin that was
available for Softimage 3D that enabled one to use a Nurbs control object to
project UVs onto another polygonal object - as far as I know there is no way to
do this in XSI currently!! Dave says that he was investigating porting the
plugin, but had no-one to do it for him. He has told me that he might consider
giving the source code to someone to investigate wether it might be possible to
do the port to XSI! Are you interested in having a look see???? If so, let me
know and I will speak to Dave about it!
Cheers
Sandy
