uvw question

[erilaz]

What version of max are you using? Can you post an image of what you're trying to achieve?

Erilaz, I believe he wants to texture a mesh, and then be able to move vertices around with the texture being re-uvw'd onto the mesh, kinda like burning the texture onto the mesh's surface, so changing parts of it around remain with the same surface.

If you want all of the UV Mapping coords to stay with the object when you deform it - then you just have to place any deformations (edit mesh/skin...etc) after (on top of) the mapping modifiers.

Alternatively, you could collapse the whole stack down, then deform it...

You could also try to save your unwrap then modify, then reload it ? Anyway, put an edit mesh above your unwrap.

Hey guys!!!
Thanks for taking time to reply. :)
Sure I know how to make the texture "move with the mesh".But all I want is NOT to make the texture move with points on a collapsed mesh.
I know the trick now.
Look at the image blow:
the middle sphere's uv got distorted cause i simplely move the point up along the edges.That way I will need to add and unwrap vuw mod to correct the uv again.
The 3rd sphere's uv is intact. I cut the edges,remove the original points.works fine.
