Polygon Hair UV Method (Maya/Blender)

sprocket · Mar 2017

Is there any easy way to fit a bunch of hair cards to one shell if they don't have exactly the same topology?

Basically I just need all of that hair fitted onto that texture so that the islands stretch all the way from the top to the bottom. With Maya I can get them all to overlap properly but they don't all extend the whole way.

It's best to put the software name into your thread title, so people who know that software will be drawn into your thread.

In maya, I would either grab the bottom verts in the viewport, or the uv editor, whichever is easiest*. Then align them all to the bottom and move the whole set down to suit the texture, and repeat for the top. Then unfold the center uvs using legacy mode/vertical to fix the stretching.

*I'm assuming here that they've all been unwrapped flat and vertical to begin with and more or less overlapping. Nightshade UV has a nice stacking routine for this.
