UVMap issues, and ideas..

Ah, btw.. Never have worked out how you get a .beam file. This old thread, on the old site:

The seventh article includes the "plugin" for baking normals, when generating textures, but either I have no idea how you actually install it (it definitely doesn't show up in the list of plugins when I look), or.. it has to be packed into a .beam somehow to work?

It's very simple and is well explained in the post #7. You can use any text editor (like notepad) to create those files (wpc_normal.auv, normal.vs and normal.fs) and put then into the autouv folder as said (usually C:\Program Files\wings3d_2.0.1\lib\wings-2.0.1\plugins\autouv). That took me only 5 minutes to create them (copy and past).

As it was said that, the space normal is probably useless, but that is the result:

I thought this was really cool when I implemented it but noone ever used it :-( (in the old post)

dgud, that is really awesome. I never spent time looking on those files until now.
