UV Vertex Snapper tool help...

[NaughtyNathan]

this sounds straight forward, but could actually be rather complicated. A single vertex may have any number of UVs from 0 upwards.. the single vertex in the center of a 32 sided cylinder cap may have 32 uvs... The first step in writing any script is to actually figure out on paper HOW it is supposed to work, factoring in all of the caveats you can think of. once you have a fool-proof method, then you can start to think about how to code it.

anyway, you can query the uvs from a given vertex using the polyEditUV command. If you are using python rather than MEL you could probably create a dictionary for each object, with one entry (key) for each vertex, the uvs for that vertex being the data. you could then compare each vertex (key) in both dictionaries, the keys that match, you move (snap) that vertex on object A to that position on object B (use the pointPosition command to get vertex positions).

in fact, you wouldn't even need to use a dict, you could just iterate over every vertex in objectA, getting it's uv positions (polyEditUV) and compare the uv list with every iterated vertex uv list in objectB...

at least, If I'm understanding you right...
