Texture 512 x 1024

Jun_vladimir

Hello.

I made a model of the sword in Mayа (it's long). After that I've done a UV, it would be logical to make it with a texture 512 x 1024 (not in a square), I did so. How to work with this texture further? Unfortunately, I did not find anything clear on this topic.

I would be grateful for links to the tutorial or a hint here.)

What do you mean? There's no special workflow for this, just add it in your realtime or offline project as usual. Have you encountered any issues?

Subst only accepts square UVs (1K x1K, 2K x2K). As I know. The problem is  texturing 512x1K UV map. Here's a screenshot:

You just have to scale up your UVs to fill up your full UV space 0-1. So UV them as if they were going into a 1024x512, and when you are done, a quick 2x on the V. Then in substance for example, you just set your canvas to 1024x512, bake it out (if you are doing that) to the same resolution. Game engines will respect these UVs and textures ratios as well.

I only used non-square textures twice and simply handled them like a normal texture, but put all the UV-Islands in the lower half of the UV space. Then after I completed the texture and exported it from substance painter. Then I simply open them in photoshop and crop the top half (which not contains any texture information).

Thanks. I'll try.
