Okay, the mesh with the remapped toecaps is now up.

A word of warning:

As you can see on the image, the UVs for the right foot (her right) match precisely, whereas for the left foot they don't. That's because although the UVs on the left and right toecap are mirror images of each other, the ones on the feet aren't. That's what happens when one is too cheap to buy software and tries to do serious work on demo versions. :biggrin:

I'll fix that later when I've augmented my toolbox a bit. I could do it in Wings3d, but it would involve some rather awkward mesh surgery which I'd like to avoid. The "correct" solution is of course to copy the UVs from one chart to another, and I'll do that as soon as I can.

At any rate: where precision is important, use the right foot for testing, not the left one.

Oh, and in regards to my previous post: I think in all fairness to UVLayout I should point out that the messed up UVs I saw were rather the result of a joint effort by Wings3D, UVLayout and myself. When you change the topology of a mesh that already has UVs, Wings tries its best to produce a mapping for the added vertices, but unsurprisingly that can lead to a bit of a mess.
