spherical texture map projection

Hello all,

 

After creating my own spherical picture I ended up with a nice map but it's glitched a wee bit on a very top and botton where texture unnaturally expands from one point. 

 

I thought I'll apply it on a sphere in Mudbox and paint it over using its tools to mask out imperfection. However due to defoult sphere UVs are created it wraps incorrectly. 

 

Is there in Mudbox anything like Spherical Mapping method which I happily use in 3dsMax? Or what would be the best way to fix it?

 

Regards,

Michael

Mudbox has no UV mapping tools, but you could try painting the mesh in Mudbux using Ptex (UVless texture painting). Once you get it exactly how you want, then transfer that paint job onto a UVed version of the mesh.

 

For Ptex painting -

 

1. Load an un-UVed version of the mesh into Mudbox.

2. UV & Maps -> PTex setup - mesh must be at lowest subD level to get started.

3. Begin painting on mesh

 

For transfering Ptex paint to UVed version -

 

1. Load UV-ed version into same scene in Mudbox.

2. UV & Maps -> Extract Texture Maps -> New Operation

3. Choose Tansfer Paint Layers

4. Add Target Model (this is the UV'ed version)

5. Add Source Model (this is the PTex'ed version)

6. Extract (button at very bottom).

7. Cheer.
