Determining how many UV maps an object should have and texture resolution size?
Are there any general rules of thumb for how many UV maps an object should have, or how large the maps should be? For Instance I am in the process of creating the LP of this p90. Should the whole gun be unwrapped such that it only takes up one UV space, and thus one map? In an Eat3D DVD entitled "the fountain" the author… -
Re: How do you uv hi-poly models?
Ok, I will NOT use this for baking normals or anything. It's meant for good looking render with minimal blocky edges. I have the low poly model UV-mapped, the problem is, when I turbosmooth it, my uvs get deformed in some places. I tried uv layout, but it's really strange tool. If I uv map it in "geometry" mode, it… -
Re: [Maya MEL] Can you create a window with a UV editor view?
Ok, good news and bad news. Good news: I managed to find a way to display the existing texture editor (which it would make a ton more sense if it was simply called UV editor) into a window. Apparently I was doing something wrong before resulting in empty windows, re-parenting the existing one DOES work. You can try it too… -
How to set up and/or automate the UVing process? (Maya)
Hi guys! I've been having problems with UVing for a long time. I'm familiar with laying out UVs for custom models, hands, cars... But when it comes to primitives i feel fucked. Cubes, planes are my worst enemies. I've already written my question over t reddit, so i'll just post a link to it instead. To sum up, I have… -
Most efficient way to UV these blocky shapes?
I'm modeling a Desert Eagle, have done highpolies, have more or less finished the model itself as well as UVs, but wanted to ask this question before I finalise them and go to texturing. The pistol has these ridges on the side, very blocky. I understand I should add bevels to shapes like these but they are such a small… -
Are CE3 real time reflections affected by UVs?
Hi guys, Real quick question! Im currently uving a scene i plan to put into cryengine. I do however have seams running down the middle of some large assets, which will will cause a mirror effect with a cubemap and i assume look weird. However if I use real time reflections, does that depend on UVs? ie will the mirroring… -
Re: Changing UVs after polypainting and sculpting in Zbrush 4r6
Let me show you the UV changes that I have made. The first one is the original with the uncorrected UVs and the second one is the one with the corrected UVs. This was done in 3Ds Max and the correction in the UVs was also done there. Now I want to either transfer the corrected UVs to the High Poly mesh with all the sculpt… -
Re: UV layout tips and tricks thread
For some projects I have 2 sometimes 3 sets of UV's. 1) Auto unwrap, every poly in its own space often a nightmare. 2) Artist Friendly UV's often broken across several templates so the pieces are easy to paint and easy to understand. 3) Final optimized UV's, often a chaotic nightmare but very engine friendly. Final maps… -
Did I UV this properly?
I'm trying to get better at UV Unwrapping objects. I've been thinking about purchasing Rizom, but I've been using 3DS Max's default UV unwrapping tools for the most part. This is a low poly of a REALLY simple turret that I made for something. I was curious if there were things I could do to UV unwrap this more properly.… -
Maya Smooth UVs distortion
Hi I have a big headache trying to resolve the distortion I get on hard surface uvs when i texture them. I always corrected the uvs distortion in maya uv text editor (loosing a lot of time indeed) but i was wondering if there is a way to avoid this distortion directly. I read that "smooth all" is an option but what u…
