Odd UV importing
A couple factors to this problem, I think? The main problem, the one I want corrected, is that I am getting shadows cast where my tiling UV shells meet. So the vertical shadows along the concrete border of what hopefully reads as a median are where the UV shells meet. I've never seen this happen before and I'm not sure how… -
Re: Utilizing UV space for the sake of it
If I'm not going to be sharing the texture, and I must stay within the UV space for whatever reason (no tiling or intended UV stretching), my process goes like this: * I will first run MoP's Normalize script, or use ye' old eyeball scaling with a checker pattern. * Try to pack everything into the UV space with a quick pass… -
Re: 3DSMax UV Tools
Nah, my complaints are still valid. Highlight selected verts don't do anything. I want my selected UV point in the UV editor window to select the corresponding Vert on the geo. I also like to hunt UV points on the mesh itself and have them show up in the UV window. It's usefull for unwrapping overlapping sections. The… -
Re: Hard edges from UV islands
Note that you generally want to go the other direction... generate UV seams from hard edges. To reduce shading errors with tangent-space normal maps, it is best to split and separate the UVs where there are hard edges on the model. Hard edges are not needed for every UV edge though. I.e. there can be more UV edges than… -
Reuse of UV Mapping Space
Looking back at an old game I've modded, which does not have normal maps for its 3D models, I noticed some techniques for increasing texture resolution/detail. 1. The reuse of UV space, where very similar portions of geometry would have their UV islands ontop of eachother. 2. On symmetrical models, a center portion of a UV… -
Mudbox 2012 - Textures across multiple UV Tiles
Hey! So I currently have an issue with mudbox right now. I have a model with a rectangular texture (or just 2 regular square textures, makes no difference at this point). Basically, I have a character who is essentially "naked" on one UV tile, and the other tile is dedicated to it's armor and equipment. I place my UV's… -
Efficient uv mapping
Hi, I want to do very efficient uv-mapping on models, and has been wondering how to maximize uv space on texture. I've been looking at the wow model uv layout and they strike me as efficient because each uv group, body, limbs, head are essentially rectangular. But it seems like they have retrofitted the map onto the… -
Re: Importing UV in Zbrush
Like musashidan said, you won't have to convert the model to a polymesh3d since it already is one. Just import the obj and start sculpting. Normally you can just import the same mesh to update UVs or vertex positions. Zbrush does this automatically to the point where it doesn't even tell you. However, this only works when… -
Maya UV editor
Hiya, Long story short I'm in a contract for doing animation. The client wanted some model changes and I get to do them (yay :( ) I told him I'm not a modeler and it would also add to contract, he said to go ahead and do it. I've got the changes made and I'm trying to adjust the UV's in maya's UV editor. Other than the UV… -
Issues with new Uvs in Zbrush?
Hey guys, I'm having some issues with switching/assigning new UVs to my model in Zbrush. I have already sculpted the high poly details and polypainted my model. - I brought the subtool down to lowest lvl of subdivs, exported and unwrapped new UVs in 3ds max (without modifying the topology or vertex count... Just unwrapped)…
