Stacked UV Map?

Plan122

Hey Guys, first time posting!!! I was after some advice i'm really dumb founded and can't seem to find a solution. I have been modeling for a indie team I make the models and unwrap them etc but for some reason every time they get put into substance painter the stupid UV maps stack in one layer.....it's really frustrating....and I am 90% sure I unwrapped them correctly but i may be wrong

Does anyone have any solutions that I can try? would be much appreciated

What exactly do you mean by stacked in one layer?

This is what I mean, all the objects I have unwrapped have ended up all on one layer...

I'm not sure if there is a problem, that's what usually happens when you create a new project - there's only one layer. Do you have different objects, each with it's own unwrap that fits the 0,1 square? Or all objects share the same 0,1 space?

 It looks like you have different objects, but if you were to select all of them in your 3D software, all the UV's will overlap each other. If you want different textures on different objects, you need to assign separete materials on each of them in your 3d software - when you import in Painter, you'll get different Texture Sets (under the respective tab), so you can work individually on the respective materials.

I have them as separate objects and unwrapped individually



I have images for each object is this wrong?

Also sorry for asking noob questions but hey we all have to start somewhere

Ah, so this is be the problem - you need different materials in Blender on each one, so when you export, in Painter you'll have the same materials under the TextureSet List tab. Just click on each material name, and your Layer UV's should look good. Then you just have to work on each material one by one, you'll end up in the end with a set of textures for each one.

Sweet Thanks! hmm rookie question again lol but could you point me in the direction of how to assign those materiel's as i can't seem to find anything related to UV under the material tab

Ah Don't worry would help if i used Cycles lol
