If you’re creating liveries for DCS units without official texture templates, you’ve likely tried exporting UV maps through the Texture Panel in ModelViewer2. The problem? it only produces a comma-separated values (.csv) file containing coordinates, which isn’t directly usable in Photoshop, GIMP, or any image editor.
Previously, there was a tool by Etten for this conversion (available here). However, it required Blender to be installed since it functioned as a Blender add-on. For users without Blender, this was an unnecessary obstacle.
The Solution
CSV2UV is a standalone .exe tool designed to solve that problem. It lets you import the .csv file, convert it into an image, and export it instantly — no Blender required.
Features
Choose export image size — from 512px up to 4096px
Add background — Transparent, Black, White, or Gray
Customize line color — White, Black, Red, Green, or Blue
Select export format — PNG, JPEG, BMP, or WEBP
Adjust line thickness using a simple slider
v1.1.0
Introduced a new set of features.
8192px export size is now supported.
Drawing vertices is now optional.
The export folder can now be opened directly after export.
This lets you export the UV map exactly the way you need it for your livery workflow.
Usage
1. Import the .csv
2. Adjust your export settings (size, background, color, format, line thickness)
3. Export the image
