[BLENDER] UV Map Shortcut?

[DarkRider]

Hail Resident Blenderheads!

Does anyone know of a shortcut way to UV Map say, a dozen walls, that are exactly the same, without having to unwrap and adjust them all individually?

I know I can select/unwrap them all at once but I still have to adjust and position them individually, I'm hoping there's a better way

Cheers

The only thing I can think of is to unwrap one wall and use that one instead of the others...if they're exactly the same that should work. Then with 2.6+ you can copy and paste. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/3D_interaction/CutCopyPaste3D

Not that I know of....

 

When I am building a model myself I put some real planning into what sections are going to be the same UV mapped......then I map that one and copy-paste that part of the model to the other places.

Scripts > Object > UV Copy from Active.

"copy UV coords from a mesh to another that has same vertex indices"

 

Works the same as Bone Weight Copy. In Object mode, select your first object that is UV'd, then shift+select the target object to be UV'd. Run script.

 

(Blender 2.49b, but I'm sure it's still a thing in the updated versions)

 

But yeah, I do the same as DaMage. If I'm re-using objects, UV it first before duplicating!

Great notes, thanks folks!
