no matter howI unwrap, the textre remains warped in the same way.

After starting to unwrap my low poly model, I realised that the texture was warped, and no matter how I unwrapped it, it never changed. Always warped int he same way, as shown, too.




Even after flatmapping it remains messed up. Can anyone tell me where to start to try and fix this??

Thanks!:thumbup:

maybe you have a different uv channel set in your material that is displayed on the 3d model. Make sure that booth ones are the same. And how can you work with a pattern in the background of the UV editor, the uv's are hardly readable.

Try resetting the xforms too, uv's are affected by transforms.

I had this happen when I was first starting out in Max, I can't remember exactly what the reason was. You could try exporting out as obj and importing it back in to see if that fixes it.

No they aren't.Procedural Maps can be dependent on the transformations, depending on the settings, but UVs are dependent on the topology only.

You are most definately unwrapping the wrong Channel, as renderhjs said.

Ah sorry, what I meant was that it affects uv tools like relax and unwrap, stuff that is dependent on transforms for calculation.

That doesn't really affect this specific case though, my mistake.

I agree.

You're looking to match these two things.
