Effectively uv mapping long rectangular faces?
Hey, I'm uv mapping my steyr, and UVs have always been something I never learned quite enough about. I can do it competently, but I'd really love to have a stronger understanding of why to do what. With the long forms, like the barrel and the frame directly below it, what would be the most effective way to uv map them? In… -
Re: 3ds max UV relax problem,any alternatives?
If you have mirrored the UV's, which it looks like you did, one side of that object is always going to be inverted, causing the relax operation not to function correctly. Start by completely laying the UVs out flat with nothing overlapped and then stitch both sides together where it meets at the top, and then running… -

Can someone clear something up regarding blending with masks/multiple UV channels?
Let's say I have a large asset of an old stone wall. I want the wall to have moss, dirt and a stone base material. I know I need to make masks using Painter that I then use in UE4 with my tiling materials. Here's what I know... From what I understand is you make 2 UV channels. UV1 is a 0-1 layout of all the UVs with no… -
How do I assign a material to different UVs in 3dsMax for Unreal Engine 4?
Hi, I'm trying to use the deferred decals in Unreal. I created a decal sheet and now I need to have two materials for it. One for the Normal Decal and another for the Color Rough Decal. Unreal doesn't like it if I split up the mesh that the decals go on, so one plane for the Normal and one for the Col. The best I can come… -
Overlapping uvs with a normal map
Hello. I am working on a dota 2 weapon and have been experimenting with overlapping uvs to save space. Problem I seem to be having is the normals are conflicting with each other...instead of just a even mirror. Like they are pushing opposite of each other.

Maya - Using second UV for transparency mask?
In Mayas Hypergraph, how would you go about changing which UV set is used for a specific input? I want to use one UV set for the color texture and a second UV set for the opacity/transparency mask. In Max it's as easy as going into the materials opacity slot and changing the Map Channel, but I'm not seeing the option in… -
