UV Texture Editor Pivot point, this is magical.

[TeaCrab]

I draw in texture editor for better color ID/ no bleeding on sharp edge geometry.

 

 

 

 

I noticed that, when I place my Texture Editor UV vertically above my 3D Viewport, the zoom pivot point is located almost inside my viewport.

 

 

Then I moved the texEditor to the side of my view port, it then pivots at almost middle of the screen.

 

 

I tested a little bit more.  I found out that the formula for the location of the pivot point:

 

Define:

 

of the texture editor's viewport

W = Width 

H = Height

(x, y) = coordinates of the Zoom Pivot Point of texture editor.

 

Function:

 

(x, y) = (W/2, W/2)

 

 

So... H is completely relevant.

 

 

This is magical...

 

 

So... if you don't want annoy yourself to death, don't place texture editor above or below the 3D viewport;  Unless you are using a vertical monitor or you shrink the texture editor into a really small square.  There are not enough vertical space on wide screen monitors to make this work.  So yea, keep your texture editor square shaped, or it will pivot at non-center.

 

 

End of story.

 

 

Awaiting OCD to cool down.

Hi!

Camera Settings

Rotate around

Which option are you using ?

Which option are you using ?

 

 

I was using the [Rotate Around Current Pick Point] Option.

 

 

btw, I'm talking about texture Editor, not 3D viewport.

So... H is completely relevant.

 

 

Quoted myself for a mistake:

 

H is completely IRRELEVANT.
