[SOLVED] Maya Udim layout scale issue

David_McCabe

Hi,

So i have a car that i have unwrapped. when i layout using only one UV tile it gives the correct scale for each UV shell in relation to each other ( the chequerboard pattern is the same size across all shells). The issue I am having is that when i layout across multiple UV tiles I get shells that are out of their relative proportion compared to other shells. I have attached a pic of my layout settings. some clarification or help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Does this also happen if you turn off pre scaling?

@oglu thank you for the reply. yes it still happens when pre scaling is off.

Ok so i got a solution from Michael Wilde on YouTube. he said "So the way I do it in Maya, open your UV editor and then the UV toolkit. Under Transform there is a bit called texel density. Select the shell you want to have the scale of, then press Get. On the other shells now when you press Set it will scale them all to the same scale." That did the trick for me.
