Auto generated UVs are broken, but still always export.

[Tinomart]

Currently the UVs generated from regular node based modelling are severely broken in the latest release 1.16 (see image), but there is no option to disable UV export. Meshes from stitching loops produce great UVs on the other hand.

I remember also that in previous versions of Dust3D the program produced absolutely beatiful UVs even in its node mode. I think the best option would obviously to restore that functionality to what it was. But it would also be nice to have export options in general, like embedding textures, etc. I don't want to ask for too much, I already love Dust3D and I use it to create 3D printable models, but for me to use it for game dev, having functional UVs or an option to not overwrite new UVs that I create in another program, would make it much more viable.

Thanks @Tinomart for the feedback, the previous version have auto uv unwrap based on the triangle meshes, but current version, the UV been simplified to satisfy the current workflow, if revert to previous version, then have to think about a way to better handle the seam area. Will think about that.

Hi! Do you happen to have any videos or photos of your models? Sorry for posting this here :D I’m just curious about the kind of creations people have made with Dust3D. Also, are you involved in game development? I’d like to use Dust3D too; I’ve been getting familiar with it for a while and really like it. Although many features shown in older videos—which I thought were super useful—no longer exist (like the "sculpt" function, which was a great way to refine model shapes right inside Dust3D), I also really like the "stitching loops" technique. I still need to study and figure out exactly how it works—it doesn't seem too hard, but I’ve only tried it once so far, not on a complex model yet!
