Unwrap Selected Takes the current UVW mapping coordinates of the currently selected 3D object (or the current Face sub-object selection), and displays them in Combustion. This can help you coordinate the map and the mesh as you paint. The Unwrap display is only an overlay. It is displayed in Combustion but is not a part of the composite or the map. UV List Changes the mapping coordinate system (the direction in which the map is projected) from UV to VW or UW. UV projects onto the surface of geometry like a slide projector. VW and WU project the map at right angles to the geometry. With a Combustion map, UV is almost always the most useful choice. UV Specifies which mapping channel to unwrap and paint. Range=1 to 99. Track Time Links the Timeline in Combustion to the time slider in 3ds Max. When Track Time is enabled, you can use the time slider in 3ds Max to navigate between frames in Combustion. NOTE This control is not bidirectional; changing the frame in Combustion does not change the frame in 3ds Max. Paint When enabled, displays a paint cursor in 3ds Max viewports. You can then paint directly on the 3D geometry. Dragging the cursor in the viewport over the geometry in 3ds Max creates paint strokes inside Combustion. Constrain To UV When enabled, constrains paint strokes to remain within the edges of the UV mapping coordinates. When paint strokes are unconstrained on an object such as a box, they can jump to the other side of the map when you cross a map's edge. This can give erratic results. To prevent this, enable Constrain To UV. In general, use the Constrain To UV option when you paint on boxes and other objects with planar maps. Disable this option when you want to paint on spherical maps or anywhere else the mapping has a singularity (where the edges of the map converge to a single point). Selected Faces Constrains the Combustion image to only the faces selected. This gives additional control or masking based on faces rather than UV mapping. Project Info group These readouts display the format of the Combustion Paint or composite operator. They are active when a Combustion workspace is loaded or Edit mode is active. Width Sets horizontal resolution of the frame in pixels. 2D Maps | 5833
