Re: Wrong UV imported in UDK
It's not a lightmap issue, it's my primary UV and I only have one uv channel on this mesh. It's just that UDK doesn't seem to update the uv along with the geometry of this mesh, as if he had stored the uv at some point and just uses that instead of the right one actually present in the fbx. On the left, the uv layout in… -
Should I duplicate a repetitive mesh to avoid flooding my UV map ?
This is something that has been confusing me for a long time, I heard many times that when you have to duplicate a mesh on the same object it can be a good idea to do the UV first and then duplicate it so you wont have a hundred cubes on the UV map for instance. But I don't really understand the logic behind it since if… -
Re: UVing/Baking Question
Ok. I figured out my main problem (my fault...set 3 hotkeys to pos,rot,scale, and didn't realize every time I hit the pos hotkey, I was also snapping to grid as well. This in turn screwed up my uv transformation.) So after I layout my UV's, I just UV snapshot it, then paste images into the UV positions in photoshop.… -
Re: skewed uv's in Maya?
I think you smoke too much crack! UVs are independant of the texture you apply to the model. The image ratio in the uv editor is just a visual thing, the UV's act as if they are still mapped to a square (and they are, the 0-1 uv space). I created an object, rotated it's UVs, stuck a rectangular map on it, turned on the… -
Mirrored uvs but no seam....
I'm not complaining, but I'm wondering why this is. I test baked two meshes in Max and am viewing them in UDK. One mesh has mirrored uvs and a copy that has no mirrored uvs. They look the exact same. If this is the case I'd obviously want to keep mirroring when possible. I'm in the process of matching texel density of my… -
Re: question: uv maps and normal maps
Yes it's okay to have a separate UV map just for light maps in Unlreal. However... If your using normal maps its always best for you to give all of your UV shells unique UV space, and not over lap any of them. Overlapping them causes the light to react to the normal map the same for all the UV shells sharing the same… -
Texture baking in object with multiple UVs with different projections
Hey guys, I just made an account here for this specific question since I couldn't find a proper answer anywhere, hope you can help. I have a complex object on maya and I'm projecting a ramp on it using a planar projection from the side so the colors align with its height. The thing is I need to bake this ramp on another UV… -
Exporting low poly from Zbrush to Maya: broken UVs
My problem starts with a group of identical low poly meshes in a Zbrush project (3 identical cylinders, 1 subtool, 1 polygroup, no subdivisions). So: 1. I export them to Maya (export options: merge uv cords checked, export subgroups unchecked, smooth normals unchecked.) 2. I extract each of the three identical cylinders… -
Re: UV unwrapping issues in Blender
Hey :) You could do this:* uv splits along edges of lid * uv splits along curvature of handle (it's basically a wide edge) * remember to split uvs along the low polys hard edges to avoid artifacts when baking * straighten uv strips of edges to save uv space (I can recommend TexTools addon for this) UV islands could then… -
evaluating UV distortion
What tools and techniques do you use to assess your UV distortion? Is a checkmap pattern more or less useful than a distortion colored preview? I know pretty much all apps nowadays (e.g., 3ds max, modo, Maya) have a distortion shader that provides a preview of the UV distortion. Do you find the UV distortion shader useful…
