Uv layout

The Layout feature automatically repositions UV shells so they don’t overlap in UV texture space and maximizes the spacing and fit between them. This is useful for ensuring that the UV shells occupy their own separate UV texture space. For example, if you are applying Fur to a surface, the UV texture coordinates on a given shell must not overlap. In general, you should keep UV shells separated for convenience and clarity, but it is not absolutely necessary. For example, you may want the UV shells to overlap so different faces use the same region of a texture. You can also use the Layout feature to Scale or stretch the UV shells to fit within the 0 to 1 coordinates of the UV Editor. This is useful if you need to maximize the texture space used when creating a texture map. For example, when using 3D Paint. Arrange the UV layout of multiple selected objects simultaneously. This improves your efficiency when you need to quickly sort the UVs for multiple objects within the UV Editor, or when multiple objects need to share different parts of the same texture. The Layout feature is available from within the UV Editor by selecting from the UV Editor’s menu bar, or in the UV Toolkit. Note: Before using Layout you should already have performed the necessary UV mapping. That is, the Layout feature will only arrange existing UV texture coordinates, it will not create them. To lay out UVs for multiple objects simultaneouslySelect the

Objects or faces whose UVs you want to lay out. Select UV > UV Editor to display the UV Editor. In the UV Editor, select (if you need to modify options), or in the UV Toolkit's Arrange & Layout section click Layout. In the Layout UVs Options window, set the following options depending on your required outcomes: Set Multiple Objects to Pack Seperately (overlapping) when you require multiple object’s UVs to overlap within the UV texture space. Set Multiple Objects to Pack Together (non-overlapping) (Default) when you require the UVs to be separated. This is useful when you need each UV set to be separate and distinct from each other. Set Shell Transform Settings to customize how Maya moves or rotates shells around the UV space. Set the Shell Padding and Tile Padding to specify how far shells of the same object are spaced from each other and from the edge of the UV space respectively. Click Apply to perform the layout operation or Layout UVs if you want to perform the operation and close the Layout UVs Options window.

Way to include a separate Image Texture node and two UV Map nodes, each linked to their respective material sub-tree. Shown above for example two materials, ‘trim’ and ‘brick’ assigned to the same object, include identical lightmap node set-up and linkage.Lightmap UV MapFor Bake to work correctly when rendering lightmaps, objects included in the process need an additional UV Map channel to accommodate the way UVs have to be unwrapped for lightmapping, in essence each face is mapped as a separate UV element rather than part of a larger ‘island’ or group of UVs as would normally done. This can be done several ways; adding another UV Maps channel in Object Data Properties and then unwrapping the mesh while that’s active, or having the lightmap UV channel added during the UV Unwrapping process using the New UV Map checkbox.Generally speaking the UVs needed for lightmaps are organised in ways that don’t make necessarily sense under normal circumstances. On the left is a typical (but simple) UV map and layout that represents how the object is textured and seen in use, whereas on the right is a ‘lightmap’ UV layout that breaks UVs into individual units so the can be laid out more effectively to use as much Texture Space as is available.Single Object Lightmap UVUV unwrapping a single object for lightmap baking is relatively straightforward, with object selected, in Object Data Properties [15] click the UV Maps heading to access the sub-sections options then click the + button [16] to the right of the Active UV Map Index aperture. A new entry, UVMap.001, appears, double-click this and type “lightmap” or similar identifier to rename for clarity. To the right of the new listing click the camera icon [17] to make this channel the active UV map.Design note: this initial step can be done wherever the Object Data Properties and UV Maps data is accessible, typically Layout (default UI), UV Editing or other Workspace, editor or area.Before lightmapping an object it needs a dedicated UV Map channel. In Object Data Properties [15] this can be done in UV Maps; click + to add [16] then rename and enable clicking the camera icon [17] making this new entry the active UV map.Once the channel is available, ensure the entire mesh is selected in Edit Mode then from the UV menu in either Layout or UV Editing Workspace, click Unwrap, then Lightmap Pack

[18] – UV » Unwrap » Lightmap Pack. In the Lightmap Pack [19] overlay popup that appears set Image Size, Pack Quality and Margin, based on the size of the image set, for example 1024, 1 and 0.16. Click OK to unwrap the mesh generating the lightmap UVs [20], then finally assign the previously created lightmap image using the Browse Image to be linked dropdown [21].Design note: when setting Lightmap Pack properties; Image Size sets the overall dimensions of the map, 2048 for example defines both width and height and so on; Pack Quality changes the dimensions and distribution of individual UVs within the square bounds set by Image Size, set to “1” UVs typically retain their original dimensions, “48” and squarer UVs will be forced square dimensionally to fit; Margin increases or decreases the distance between individual UVs – higher values may be needed for clearance on smaller images to allow for pixel bleed and anti-aliasing.Pack Quality changes the UVs so larger elements are more uniformly square and better able to fit within the bounds of the available texture that’s mapped to the UV layout – image-left, UVs reflect their original shape more or less, image-right, UVs are reshaped for a better fit.Once the UV Map is available and selected as the active object in Object Data Properties the mesh can be unwrapped from the UV menu using Lightmap Pack [18] where Image Size, Pack Quality and Margin [19] can be set based on how large the lightmap UV layout should be…… click OK in to finish Lightmap Pack and generate the UVs relative to the settings used [20], then assign the image previously created using Browse Image to be linked [21] (the image won’t appear on the mesh in the 3D Viewport as it’s not linked to the materials Base Color input).Single Object Lightmap BakeBefore Bake can proceed switch back to Shading Workspace. Here, in the UV Map node previously linked to the lightmap’s Image Texture node, set “lightmap”, the newly created UVMap data, as the UV coordinates to be used for mapping [22], then select the lightmaps Image Texture node [23] to ensure the resulting image is baked using the correct UV map and image data. Repeat for each material assigned to the object being baked.Important: this step MUST be done for all materials assigned to the object being baked to ensure the correct image is used
