how to make non square UV ?

cmtanko

I have seen people using non-square UV layouts like '2K X 1K' . Now finally when I got to know why, Can somebody tell me how its done in Maya ?


thanks

simply by using non square texture maps

umm, when I tried to save the UV snapshot with 2048X1024 , the UVs were stretched and not as expected. I checked with all the 3 UV Range options also.. Did I missed something ?

There is probably an easier way but until you find that out his may help!

Hi cmtanko, there are many threads on Polycount covering this topic, here's one: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65234&highlight=rectangular+textures
Search this forum if you need to find more.

I can really recommend the plug-in UVDeluxe for Maya, it's got great scaling tools (and a lot of other useful features as well) that's very helpful. Should be available on creativecrash.

Hope that helps
