Editing UV maps
Usually after you’ve generated an appropriate UV map you may still need to edit the UV coordinates manually. Regardless if you have to do that or not you should always inspect the UV layout before exporting the object. 3d Max, Maya and Cinema4D offers powerful tools and plugins to do so.
The most commonly used operations for editing UV coordinates are:
- Re-scale UV coordinates horizontally or vertically, or both.
- Move UV vertices and/or faces.
- Rotate UV coordinates.
- Mirror UV coordinates.
- Snap UV coordinates to each other.
- Relax UV coordinates.
- Normalize UV coordinates.
