Max 2009 UV mapping Bug?

PeterK

Looks like Unwrap UVW doesn't show UV channels other than 1?

I applied a planar on UV channel 2, and then unwrap UV (set to UV channel 2), and it shows the same map as in UV channel 1, when they are very different.


any notes or data on this? Maybe I'm missing something.

press reset button then you will see what is in that map slot. you can use this to copy uvs from one to the other, by resting it to that slot then changing the slot number and collapsing, so if you want to copy 1 into 2 for a quick start just add the modifier then change the slot number fiddle and collapse

this has been covered in so many threads, they seriously need to fix it or make it more obvious

Thanks for the info Shep, it's much appreciated.

It's pretty asinine considering it worked perfectly fine before they fiddled with it. Max 9 would just let you input the map channel you wanted to see without having to "reset" it. They took something that just flat out "worked" and broke it.
