Thanks to M4 Enhanced I have M4 with V4 mapping. Due to Col's M4K4Mixer, I'd really like to have M4 with K4's mapping. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You should be able to do that with uvmapper

Bill

Why would you need UVMapper for this?

(1) Load the K4 base mesh (from runtime/geometries)

(2) Load M4 as a morph target - set the morph dial to 1.0

(3) Save new OBJ as blMilMan_K4UV.obj or somesuch

(4) Create a copy of your chosen M4 CR2 file

(5) Edit the copy to point to the new K4UV OBJ instead of the original M4 OBJ

Done :)

Thank you, I'll give that a shot. :D

The problem is that the K4 mesh is actually smaller than M4's, so you will end up with a figure that bends like this; this is why the ColorCurvature script rerigs the figure with animated joint centers.

To do it with UVMapper, load the K4 mesh and Export UVs.  Load the M4 mesh and Import the UVs you just saved.  Save under a new name, make a copy of the M4 cr2 and point it to the remapped .obj. 

Thanks for the headsup; I'll try doing it that way then.

Just to verify that my instructions worked, I just followed them myself, and it worked exactly as I expected it to (I have a figure that is the same size and shape as M4, bends exactly like M4, but uses K4 textures). Did you by any chance use a copy of the K4 CR2? Otherwise, what exactly did you do to get the result in your image?

GAH!  I sure did... :ohmy: I stand corrected. 

UVMapper is still much faster...

Hi, you can do that with a text editor.

Make a copy of K4 .obj and replace the vertex positions with the vertex positions of M4 .obj

these lines begin with a 

v

e.g. v 0.1 0 0.2

then make a copy of m4.cr2 and link it with the new .obj you just created.

or use k4mix.cr2 and link a copy to the new .cr2, so you do not have to do the initialization again.

Ah, that sounds the easiest of all! Thanks. :)  

Thanx for that, Hannes!
