Understand how to maintain texture scale in Maya's UV Editor. In this video, George demonstrates ways to ensure that your textures remain consistent across multiple mapping types. He shows how to visualize scale easily in the UV Editor.
- [Narrator] Let's take a look at one more thing…with UV editing and that's understanding…the scale of the texture itself.…Now when you start to create UV maps,…you want to make sure that the same material or same image…is textured at the same scale throughout the scene.…So here I have this simple kind of a T-shaped pipe…and if we look at this material,…it's kind of a metal material,…you'll see that it's a lot grainier up here.…
It's a lot finer down here.…And it really doesn't make much sense in terms of scale,…and so this does not look very cohesive.…So let's select our object and go into the UV editor…and kind of diagnose what's going on.…So in the UV editor you'll see that we have…a bunch of shells here.…I've got a shell for the bottom part of this,…I've got a shell here for this top part.…And as you can see they're kind of different scales…and they're kind of all over the map.…
Now one of the things I like to do when texturing…is to make sure that these are the same scale.…Now sometimes you can't see whether or not…
