Baking Multiple UV Tiles / UDIMs ?

rayle1112

I'm wondering if anyone has a good workflow for baking multiple UV tiles or UDIMs? I have tried xNormal, Knald, Substance and I've had no success so far.

Wonder  what is a purpose of UDIM in games?      Never worked with it actually still curious  how it's different from  having multiple  matID /sub-materials,  each with each own texture .    Substance Painter can work that way  I believe.      Is UDIM  just a kind automation for file saving/loading ?   Is there some other advantages?

I would say the main purpose of UDIM is for making high res textures. You can read it more here: https://www.fxguide.com/featured/udim-uv-mapping/

I read it ,  still not sure what may prevent you from doing same hi res textures within  old  0-1 approach.           I understand although   if it's hundreds  of  patches /sub-materials/matID  it could be a problem to load all of them one by one .    Still Substance or 3d coat  would do it   automatically  too.      So I wonder why  it's matter if  all the  UV islands  in 0-1  or  each in its own range  1-2, 2-3  etc?
