hey hi guys/gals

is there a way to do this? example: i'm putting a label on the front of a box right, so i apply my texture(label) to it as a subprojection, now i can scale the projection down and play around with it until it looks unstreched, but man that just takes some time and i want it perfect!!

when(back in the day) i used to use 3dsmax, it's got a MATCH UV's to BITMAP option, so with one click it will scale your uv's to your texture, then u can proportionally scale your uv's down to the size u need it!! make sense?

anyway to do this in xsi?

thx

in xsi UVs are a generic property abstracted from the image.

all you need to compensate square UVs to have a cropped/canvased ratio respecting the ratio of a picture is finding the ratio of your image (w/h) and either multiply or divide the scale of your UVs width or height by that ratio.
