UV Channel's

I seem to have been clicking random things as usual, and by accident I have got two element's unwrapped on UV Channel "2" and then rest of the object unwrapped on channel "1". How can I merge them together?

I'm 99% sure you can't have elements in one channel and some elements in another channel... are you elements will be in each channel..

reset your UVs

Do that will mean I will have to unwrap the entire thing again

you can detach the parts of your mesh that are unwrapped in the 2nd channel, copy it's 2nd channel to it's 1st channel (menu -> tools -> channel info), then attach it back to the other half of the mesh.

good idea!

btw save your UV's just incase!!

Erm, how do I change the channel of the object in the Channel Info? I have never used this before.

:S Something strange going on here.



As you can see, apartently it is on Channel 1... But UVW Editor says it's channel two...

That's not your UV Channel, that's your Material ID.

Looks like it is all on UV Channel 1.
