This page explains how to install and run the UVLayout Hobbyist Trial on Windows and OS X workstations.
Hardware Requirements
- 1GHz Intel CPU
- 256Mb RAM, 512Mb for Windows
- 20Mb free disk space for software
- Mid to high performance OpenGL graphics card
- Three button mouse
- Sound card (optional - for training videos only)
Software Requirements
- Windows XP, Vista, 7. Apple OS X 10.5+
- Web browser and Internet connection to access online resources
- QuickTime movie player to view training videos
- PDF viewer to read the User Guide
Windows Installation
Run the supplied UVLayout-Hobbyist-Trial.exe file and follow the instructions displayed to install UVLayout.
Known Problems
- Edge picking doesn't work on some ATI Radeon cards. UVlayout doesn't like Anti Aliasing in Super Sample mode, so set that to Adaptive mode or deactivate it in your display adapter card's properties panel.
- UVLayout crashes under Windows 7. Right click the desktop icon to get to the Properties window, and check the Compatibility mode; it should be disabled, or at least set to "Windows Vista", not "Windows XP".
Mac OS X Installation
Open the supplied UVLayout-Hobbyist-Trial.dmg disk image file and follow the instructions in the Read-Me.txt file.
Known Problems
- If you launch UVLayout and nothing appears to happen, check if you have your display configured for dual monitors, but only one is plugged in or turned on. If you turn on the second screen and find UVLayout there, you can drag it back to the main screen and "pin" it with the top left most button in the UVLayout GUI.
- If your whole screen goes gray after launching UVLayout, it means that X11 is running in full screen mode. You can toggle this with Cmd-Opt-A, and then go to the X11 preferences to turn it off permanently.
Getting Started
Drag'n'drop OBJ format files onto the desktop or application icon to run UVLayout with that file loaded up.
