I was doing some UV unwrapping of a particularly complex mesh, and methodically projecting faces from Top, Front, and Side views (respectively) to avoid distortion from the typical UV unwrap. I have UV/ Image Editor open in a second pane, so I can selectively pin my vertices in place as I go, in preparation for when I ultimately bake the textures (still working on the ‘best’ way to get a texture to look seamless!) and I am presented with a thin red/pink circle instead of a cursor.
No amount of restarting, clicking on boxes, or issuing other commands (grab, scale, box, etc) will rid me of this seemingly useless feature. It appears to be a cross between proportional editing and mark seam, from a visual standpoint. I would be amused to find out its intended use, but more than that, how to turn it off! If I left-click on a section of faces, it will stretch them out of place. Not helpful.
I am once again in your debt, Richard. That was precisely my issue. I am simultaneously grateful that Blender has so many features and endlessly vexed that there’s just so dang much to learn about it.
Oh-- and thanks for the link. That wasn’t at all where I tried to look for my answer, but I’m glad the documentation does exist!
Hi, fgimage.
I am also testing baout another image editor these days. I want to look for some professional ones whose way of processing is simple and fast to help me with the related work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Do you have any ideas about it? Or any good suggestion? Thanks in advance.
