Open the Edit UVWs dialog (Edit UVs rollout Open UV Editor).īy default, the editor displays a checkered background. If you don't see them, make sure Configure rollout Display Group Map Seams is on. Use the green seam display lines as a guide. Continue making and naming selections and applying mapping until the entire mesh is mapped. To exit mapping for this polygon selection, click the mapping type button again. You can also open the editor (Edit UVs rollout Open UV Editor) to view the changes in the generated texture coordinates as you adjust the gizmo. Tip: To reset the mapping to the default, clickĮach time you adjust the mapping gizmo, the texture display in the viewports updates to reflect the mapping changes. For example, if you're working on a house, you could use names such as roof and front. This step isn't required, but is recommended so you can easily restore the selection for subsequent mapping adjustments. 
Name the polygon selection using the Named Selection Sets function on the main toolbar. Within the single modifier, you can apply as many different mappings as you like to different polygon selections. You'll use a single mapping type on this selection. Go to the Polygon sub-object level of the Unwrap modifier and make a selection of contiguous polygons. Set the material to display in the viewports, set at least one viewport to be shaded (for example, press F3 to toggle between wireframe and shaded), and, if necessary, turn off Shade Selected Faces (press F2) for that viewport so the texture mapping is visible. Apply the modifier and a textured material (typically containing an image- or pattern-based Diffuse map) to an object. Unwrap UVW provides many additional tools not described in this procedure, particularly in the editor.įor procedures detailing other mapping methods available with Unwrap UVW, see To use Peel Mode, To use Pelt mapping and To use Spline mapping. This procedure offers a general overview of using the basic Unwrap UVW tools available on the Modify panel and the Edit UVWs dialog. To use Unwrap UVW with the standard mapping methods: To map additional polygons, proceed from step 3. To apply the mapping, click Quick Planar Map. To use a different orientation for the mapping, choose X, Y, or Z from the flyout. Quick Planar Map gizmo superimposed over selected polygons 
You can toggle this feature and set the line thickness with the Display settings. This helps you visualize the locations of mapping clusters on the object surface. Each of these clusters has an outline called a map seam which appears superimposed over the object in the viewports. That way you can position the clusters precisely over different areas of the underlying texture map for optimal mapping accuracy.
In using Unwrap UVW, you usually break up the object's texture coordinates into smaller groups known as clusters. You can animate UVW coordinates by turning on the Auto Key button and transforming the coordinates at different frames. In the latter case, you usually do so in order to use a mapping method unavailable in Unwrap UVW, such as Shrink Wrap. You can use Unwrap UVW as a self-contained UVW mapping tool and texture-coordinate editor, or in conjunction with the UVW Map modifier. > Modifiers menu > UVs, Maps and Materials > Unwrap UVW > Modifiers menu > UV Coordinates > Unwrap UVW

You can adjust mapping to fit on Mesh, Patch, Polygon, HSDS, and NURBS models using any combination of manual and several different procedural methods. You can also use it to unwrap and edit existing UVW coordinates on an object. The Unwrap UVW modifier lets you assign mapping (texture) coordinates to objects and sub-object selections, and to edit those coordinates by hand as well as with a variety of tools.
