Member Jakejazz Posted June 12, 2023 Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 This video demonstrates the usage of multiple UV sets in 3DCoat Hope this help Note: All UVsets must be on 0,1 location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jakejazz Posted June 12, 2023 Author Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 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?

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.

Member Jakejazz Posted June 12, 2023 Author Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
