Hi Folks,

I am new to C4D and after working on a model, I need to texture it. Here's the question:

1. How do I genereate a UVW map that I can do a screen shot in C4D ( I have the XL bundle) and paint in photoshop?

Currently the work around is that I export it to Lightwave as a 3DS file, generate a UVW map and do a screen shot. But that surely can be done in C4D rite? I would rather do most of the stuff in one app. Thanks in advance for your help. :annoyed:

if you have bodypaint then you can get bodypaint to stroke the uv-map for you.

if not then i suggest getting the excellent free UV2BMP plugin from plugincafe, as this will allow you to generate bitmaps of the uvmap for import into photoshop or whatever image editing app you want.

there are other uv editing tools (even free ones) for cinema that will enable you to do this, just search plugin-cafe and the resources threads.
