10/03/2005This script swaps your UVWs with you 3d model. This allows you to edit UVWs with all the '3d' tools - and you can use the 'Unwrap UVW' tools on your 3D model. Very useful sometimes.
Additional Info:
Some Notes:-- Works On One Selected Model At A Time.-- Does not work on multiple objects or non geometryclass type objects.-- This will convert object into an editable poly and reset the Xform.-- Because of scale differences between UVW and XYZ space - swapping will likely make your model/UVWs either very small or very large. Depending on you unit setup this can be problematic - UVWs swapped into 3D can be so small that they are hard to work with in 3D.
I experienced problems with models that I had created meters - I had to scale up the UVWs to fix this before swapping.-- Swaps your first map channel with you 3D model. Not tested with models with multiple mapping channels and not recommended. Installation:Maxscript / Run Script ... Then go to Customize / User Interface and change the category to 'MrApeJelly Tools' ... Assign whatever shortcut you want and you're ready to go.
