that request makes sense, internally I have the logic for it (the command line tool has it) but I had not done the website/javascript side for that. I’ll go figure out how to do that

22

would this be best done with a set of fixed resolutions (drop down box) or do you just want some box where you can type a number?

23

I would think data entry fields would suffice. It’s not like the resolution has to comply with some sort of industry standards. What would be super nice is if you entered the width that the height would be auto calculated based on the model’s aspect ratio. And vise versa if you entered height.

Thanks for the quick reply!

24

the aspect ratio already works that way :wink:

Is there a way to set a texture to not repeat and give us the ability to center it on the stock?

Yes, sort of, size the box to the desired size and set it to have the same proportion as the incoming image so that the repeat doesn’t matter.

27

I tried this and I cant download the image or save it ay all, I can see the full image but just cant save, and I couldn’t download the software just ran it from the browser, any thoughts

28

which browser did you use?

29

I am using windows explorer

I’ve had another report of that and was going to check IE/Edge later today.
Turns out javascript isn’t very uniform between browsers ;-(

I just found that and am trying it but i wish it allowed for the user to set the file name or grab it from the import filename.

38

ok I just changed it to take it from the input filename…
(it might take 1 or 2 minutes to propagate to the live webpage)
