Importance of Uving?
Hey everyone what is crackin? Another noob question. My goal is pretty much to land a job in environment modeling. I want to create epic scenery for games and set pieces. Anywho. I am working on two project at the moment and in both cases the texture artists have been happy to do the uving. I can uv, I am not brilliant at… -
Maya UV stretching
I am having a problem when creating UVs for a cauldron model. When i create UVs and apply a checker in the UV editor after using the cylindrical UV creator i get checkers that are distorted. Can anyone explain or have any solutions to this problem? If its any help i have used the soften edge tool in the normals menu… -
uvw uv space
Hello! I'm making game assets, normally when doing a uv's, if i had the space I'd start scaling pieces bigger, filling gaps in the uv. However with game stuff, should i try and keep the uv layout equal and leave some of the smaller gaps empty? In my head I'm thinking no, don't scale bits of the uv as this will give that… -
Question about uv in Maya
Hi,This is my first model in Maya and I am doing my UV for the first time,Do you guys conveting your mesh to smooth with "Smooth Mesh Preview to Polygon" and then you do the UV?Because I am doing the UV with a mesh and when I press 3 on the keyboard I see the mesh becomes red in the UV. -
What is the ideal way to UV map modular pipes of different sizes?
For my project, I am building a set of modular pipe pieces with different diameters. Currently all of the UVs are square-mapped from the 0-1 range so the pieces are perfectly tileable; however, depending on the thickness of the pipe, its UVs may be stretched too thin or too far on the V axis. I could scale the UV shell… -
How would you handle UVing/baking this rope? Zbrush, insert mesh
Hello there, I'm currently doing some tests with ropes, I made an insert mesh which I UVed in Zbrush and created a curve to make a rope brush. Now each section's UVs are overlapping to save UV space, but when I bake the whole rope in SP I get these seams. There are no seams if I just unwrap the whole rope in one go, but… -
3dsMax - select overlapped uvs?
Hi, I'm looking for a script/tool, which selects overlappings UVs. Textools got "shift overlap" but it doesn't work properly. Either it does nothing, or it selects all overlapping uvs. What I need is something which selcts only the mirrored stuff on top of the original (bottom) uv island, while the original uv island stays… -
Offsetting UV islands - how do _you_ do it?
I'm collaborating with a friend on some scripts for 3ds Max (tbh he's doing most of the work, I'm just testing and offering crits!). I'm wondering how others are prepping their UVs for baking? I make all my unique UVs first, then I mirror the model, and duplicate any parts that will have overlapped UVs. Then I pack. I like… -
Re: Transfer UV layout mini-tut
Terminology clash perhaps. But to me this is texture baking (from UV to UV) rather than transfering of UV layout which would be trying to move one UV layout to another model (which usually ends up being useless.. at least in Maya). Anyway.... Maya: - Duplicate your mesh - Change UVs - Make sure the "Rendering" menus are… -
Problem with Stacked UVs when Baking
Hello, I have one problem that is bugging me for a while. The problem is that I wanted to stack/mirror parts so I can save some UV space and get better resolution. I've moved stacked UVs to the side by 1 but I get this weird triangulation on moved UVs. It wont let me embed pictures for some reason so here are the links :…
