'AddNew UV Set' doe not appear to change anything.

[Jakejazz]

Hello

I am following a character course that uses 3D Coat for unwrapping.

Once the OBJ is opened, I convert the entire mesh 'To Planar' and then 'Pack UV' to have all the elements as separate islands. I then 'Auto Scale'.

The next step that is suggested is to separate the main body element as a UV set.

When I select 'Add New UV Set' nothing appears to change.

I am aware of the the requirement to 'Apply UV set' but this does not seem to effect the issue.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This video demonstrates the usage of multiple UV sets in 3DCoat

Hope this help

Note:

All UVsets must be on 0,1 location

Thanks for the video Custodian. unfortunately it doesn't cover the issue that I am experiencing.

When I chose 'Add New UV Set' nothing happens. Even though I select a particular area to separate off, the entire mesh is still contained in the default.

Any other thoughts?

Hello! When you have created a new UV set, you need to select the necessary sections of the mesh and in the next window click on the name of the new UV set to transfer.

That works Oleg. Thank you!

One thing that is different from the tuition is that when I add a new UV set, I get an aditional UV set called defaultmat. Is this to be expected?

By default, a set with this name will be added. Please make a screenshot of the list of UV sets.

Hi. This is what drops down as I am about to add a new UV set.

All right. That's the way it should be.
