Uploaded images keep their proportions on the 3D model
EditorShare View
In a File Upload option block, a shopper’s image used to be stretched over the target part’s entire texture sheet — so a tall or wide image came out squashed, and on parts that only use a band of that sheet (a chest print area, say) it was cropped too. Each upload target now has an Image Fit setting. “Keep proportions” fits the whole image inside the part’s real print area at its original shape, leaving unused space empty; “Fill area” fills the print area and crops the overflow. New upload targets use Keep proportions automatically. Existing targets keep their current look until you choose a fit, so no live project changes on its own.
New
- Editor → Options → File Upload block → upload target → Texture Mapping → Image Fit: Keep proportions, Fill area, or Stretch (the previous behaviour).
- The editor now shows the target part’s detected print area — its shape (for example 3.2 : 1, landscape) and how much of its texture sheet it uses — so you can see exactly what the image will be fitted to, and share it with your 3D artist.
- Clear warnings when a setup will not look right: Stretch on a part that uses only part of its sheet, a print area so small that uploads lose sharpness, UVs outside the 0–1 range, or a part with no UV map at all.
Improved
- Scaling and rotating an uploaded image keeps its proportions too — a rotated image stays a rectangle instead of skewing.
- With a proportional fit, Move is measured across the print area: the sliders reach its edges, horizontal moves right as you drag right, and the range no longer shrinks as the image gets smaller.
- Images fitted into a small print area are rendered at a much higher resolution than before.
- The AI Assistant and connected AI agents can set the fit when they create or edit upload targets, and use Keep proportions by default for new ones.
