Creating a texture atlas out of a large number of existing UV's

poopstick · Nov 2015

I've created about 20 models, each with their own texture maps, I was going to manually alter them all to fit on one single texture atlas and render it out at 4k, but.. I've already painted all the maps and it's going to be a nightmare scaling my UV's and lining up all my textures to those uv's on a new texture atlas.

Is there any programs plugins that might ease this problem? Maybe something that works in conjunction with your actual PNG's and the UV information on the models?

Thanks and peace.

I think there are plugins for this (flatiron?) but honestly, just packing the 20 into a texture by hand and then moving and scaling the uvs to fit wont take too much time and then it will all be done just the way you want. It does get painful though when you have about 100 models, when Ive had that problem Ive used maya to render a bake to texture, diffuse on uv1 into a new uv2 channel that is packed nicely, that works fairly well.
