Re: Editing seams after UV flatten in 3dsmax
I do something similar with Ace-Angel, in 2011 and lower I would apply a planar map to the whole thing, use point to point seams to draw the seams on the model in the viewport, then relax each chunk, its a bit like pelt mapping but without all the annoying stretcher cage settings and steps. It also sounds like you're… -
Re: Hard-Surface Normals - Curved object
If you are talking about hard edge normals (aka smoothing splits) then you'll want to place them in the same location as your UV islands. I'm not sure what you mean by this.
