Maya – Basic UV unwrapping

Posted on December 27, 2019December 28, 2019 by Oded Maoz Erell

Software:
Maya 2018

Steps for basic UV unwrapping:

Select all polygons.
Apply planar UV projection just to get rid of all the current UV seams.
Select the edges that that are intended to be UV seams.
In the UV Editor menu choose Cut/Sew > Cut.
Select all polygons.
In the UV Editor menu choose Modify > Unfold.
In the UV Editor menu choose Modify > Layout.
Scale and rotate the UV layout to fit the UV space.
