Scale UV points in Maya with numbers

achillesian

I've done some searches on this and haven't found a way to do this within Maya. If this really isn't built into Maya it's a disgrace.

Thanks in advance if you can tell me how to do it, or what plugin I need to install that's compatible with with Maya 12 x64.

Scale a bit, undo, then check the script output, and you can enter your specific numbers. Yes maybe something like this should be built in, but learn to check the script output for a number of things in Maya, even learn a bit of Mel it will help you in the long run.

You could also go into the scale settings, turn on discrete scale, and set the step size to what you want to reduce your uvs by. Like if i wanted to make something 75% of what it currently is i would enter .25 and scale it once.

I've been looking for a way to do this too, the only solution i found is to use xform modifier in max.

Really old post, but this is supported in Maya for anyone dropping in here hoping to find an answer. In the UV window, select your UVs, select the scale tool ("e"), select relative transform mode (0.0/red arrow icon among the copy/paste icons section), and enter the scale value in the upper right corner in either the U or V axis (the two fields in the copy/paste icons section). Only works in one axis at the time. I usually snap my tool (sounds wrong that) to the center of the grid so that I can move the UVs using numeric positioning as well.
