3ds Max UV's not visible in UV Editor

d3ltus · Nov 2017

Hi guys,

I am running a system with Windows 10 and a 1070 GTX. I have run into a very strange issue. I have created clothing in Marvelous Designer and taken it into Zbrush to ZRemesh and then back to Max to retopologize. Upon bringing it into Max to unwrap I cannot see the UV's in the UV Editor. I have also tried checking the assets UV's in Maya and they are not visible. I didn't have an issue when I was just running a student license, but now that I set up a subscription this issue appeared. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shot in the dark here, but try selecting all your mesh faces and doing a quick auto-unwrap. occasionally I'll import a mesh from outside 3ds max and the UVs are, for some reason, all collapsed into a tiny invisible point. If that's the issue here, doing an auto unwrap should at least make them visible in the UV editor and you can select them and properly UV them.

Awesome thank you! That sounds like the issue.

Try to check uv in zbrush.

Maybe it help.

Good luck!

Omg thank you so much!
I was wondering why I couldn't see mine in UVW Editor.
What I did is select
"Open UV Editor" >
"Mapping" >
"Normal Mapping" >
"Back/Front Mapping >
Selected Ok.
and it pops out with editable material!
