Advanced Member Paint Guy Posted November 7, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have my UV map ready, but a small question. I want to rotate only a section of my UV map (see image) so it is easier to paint on in Photoshop. The problem is the pieces fit so well right now so I don't know how I can rotate it. I know how to use the rotate function in the UV editor to rotate the UV's but if I rotate this section it will be to big and will overlap. I can scale it down, but then I will have less area to paint on. Am I correct in assuming that everything (all the UV's must fit within the 2048 x 2048 image area? Do I have any other options other than rotating the section and scaling it down to fit the image size. Any help is much appreciated! http://www.3d-coat.com/forum/uploads/monthly_11_2009/post-920-12575554822815_thumb.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member lc8b105 Posted November 7, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Why not directly rotate the whole image 90° in Photoshop while painting, after painted then rotate it back (-90°)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, I'll try that. Thanks! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Yep, what Luo said is what I usually do in a case like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently I only create very simple UV maps in 3DCoat but how do you create multiple UV's for more complex shapes like a person wearing a jacket, hat, pants and boots holding a sword for example?
