UV tips and tricks几个MAYAUV方面小技巧的教程

 A站一位作者做了几个MAYAUV方面小技巧的教程，蛮好的转过来给大家，没有下载，直接网页看吧。哎。。突然发现做了这么多年模型，我连UV都不会分呢。。。按我理解的方式给大家翻译了一下，很实用的小教程。

This is how I setup my UDIM grid before I start my UV workflow. UV labels can be quite useful when you have multiple tiles.

当你使用UDIM贴图方式如何在UV编辑器中设置显示方式。

Under the selecting by type shelf you can find an option to select unmapped objects. Extremely useful when you have some lost pieces that for some reason didn't get mapped during your workflow.

当处理多个物体UV的时候 有的时候有没有展开UV的模型，选择多个模型后 使用Unmapped的命令可以帮你检查到哪个模型部分是没有UV的，比较方便。

The normal-based projection is an excellent start when creating a new UV set. It works particularly well with hard-surface panels.

给模型新分UV的时候 使用 normal based命令比较方便，特别是处理硬表面的模型，贼鸡儿溜。

They finally implemented an option to straighten the shells without a lot of effort! - Now you can make your tubes and pipes look sexier than ever.

做类似管状物体UV的时候使用straighten UVs命令拉直UV贼方便！

My buddy Rob Smith shared this one with me at work a few months ago! The distribute option is an excellent way to organize multiple pieces at once. It also gives you an option to adjust the distance in between each shell.

从好基友那儿学来的技巧，当排列多个物体UV的时候，使用Disribute这个命令可以很好的排列UV顺序和他们之间的密度。

Stacking shells and orienting them is a great way to work with symmetrical pieces.

使用stack shells 和orient shells命令对多个UV物体 重叠和设置位置很方便。

The texel density is extremely useful to keep shells with the same size and density.

相同物体的UV精度保持一致，可以先选择一个物体使用 get 获取密度值，然后在选择另外一个相同物体 set赋予，这样就可以保证2个物体贴图精度一致。

Quick tip - Press SHIFT on each button to see multiple options

小提示：按住shift键 点击命令按钮可以快速打开该命令的参数面板。。。嗯。。

I use this UNITIZE method quite a lot to unwrap complex tubes and ropes. You get some stretching sometimes, but they don't bother me and the result is super clean!

我经常试用UNITIZE 命令快速展开类似管子啊绳子啊这样的物体，UNITIZE 后选择一条UV切口，然后在UV窗口里面反选其他边缝合UV，配合straighten UVs命令拉直，方便！

Quick tips: Use arrow keys to move around with your tiles!

选择UV，使用键盘的方向键调整UV区间。。。用了一辈子MAYA尽然不知道。。

Even when I have a bunch of tiny pieces, I make sure to organize and layout them with enough space so I can make quick selections during my texture painting process

这个不是什么技巧，不过有多少小部件小东西，也要给到足够的UV空间保证你的贴图精度。

The new "Auto-Seams" option in Maya 2018 can be extremely helpful to unwrap hard surface pieces.

MAYA2018版本中，新的Auto-Seams自动接缝命令（打开设置面板选择cut along hard edges选项） 可以根据模型硬边快速展开硬表面的模型UV。

Sometimes I use the "Auto-Seams" option to have a good start on complex pieces. After it lays down the shell, I can go and cut more until I'm happy with the results

我经常使用 "Auto-Seams"自动接缝这个功能帮切模型，会得到一个不错的结果，然后在自己切合一下UV得到想要的UV效果。

AVOID making cuts on areas with a 5 pole. You can get some nasty stretching.

避免在5边2面的地方切UV接口，不然会得到一些非常讨厌的UV拉伸。

Add supporting edges to your model to avoid stretching

添加保护的环线可以避免贴图拉伸。

I always use the BOX options in UV Layout to organize my shells - A life saver!

我经常使用UV Layout 这个软件，使用BOX命令排列UV，好用！。。。说好的MAYA uv技巧呢 大哥。。。

Press "R" to straighten your shells - Can't get easier than that!

UV Layout 软件中，快捷键R，快速拉直UV。skr~~
