Static Mesh Maya to UDK Beginner help please

Comeback Kid

Hi everybody,

First off I would like to say I have used the search function to no avail, I know its a simple question.

I have used max before, and am familiar with creating a second uv channel for a lightmap in UDK. But I'm stuck in Maya.

So basically thats it:

How do I make multiple UV sets so I can lightmap in UDK?

Thanks if anyone can help me, again I'm pretty new at this.

Thanks.

Oh I'd also like to add, is there any way to quickly pack UV's like in Max? Thanks.

Hi,
You can easily create UV-sets in the UV Texture Editor. With the mesh selected, go to Polygons -> Copy UV's to UV Set or Create Empty UV Set. You can then switch between existing UV sets in the UV Sets menu.

To pack UV's you can try Polygons -> Layout although it doesn't really work that well imo. I'm sure there are better ways to do it out there.

Hope that helps

Thanks so much o2, I'll see how it goes and update, cheers!
