In-world UV Editor...

I had an idea for a simpler way to surface objects when using textures that are not one for one on the face (i.e. multi-texture cards etc)

moving, scaling and rotation of the uv space would act just like the free transform tool in photoshop, if you move close to the corner you get scale for both axis, move away from that point and you get the rotation tools etc.

Just a thought.....

I endorse this, would really help out with texture editing on objects.

Nice work on that example too.

I'd support alternate texturing modes. It'd make things a lot easier when modelling smaller objects.

Very cool. Yes please

It would require adding up to 64 more int values to the description of an object. Since we can't even get them to increase the precision of the Top Size X and Y by a decimal place or two, I can't see them adding THAT much to a prim's description.

It would be nice, though.

Heck, I'd settle for SL not skewing textures on the sides of prims that have had their Top Size reduced. That bug's been there since day one and has NEVER been addressed.

It would require nothing new.

Its just a visual means for editing the values we edit numerically now. All this would do is per face set the uv offset and scale values as well as the uv flipping values, nothing new that I can think of.

I would so love to see this!

This would add so much more precision to texture work
*drooling...oh my gosh what I could do with this....

Yes please please please!

Oh!

I thought you wanted freedom to set each face's corner UV point individually.

How would your dialog handle oddly-shaped prim faces, like the surface of a torus?

The torus should mapped cylindrically around its own central axis (picture a piece of paper rolled in a tube and then that in turn roled along the opposite axis to form a torus, that should be the uvs for it.) but when its unwrapped it would look just like a rectangle with a bunch of lines in the center of it (Figure 1) which would be handled just fine by the proposed editor. Unless they are mapping it funkily.
