  • CHOOSE PRECISE SIZE OF A UV MAP

    Posted by Key Zer on March 23, 2022 at 2:49 pm

    Hey everyone,

    I’m back with a new UV map issue… 🤯

    I know this can be done in Blender but I use C4D and I didn’t find anyway to do this.

    I made different glass and cups models, I made uv maps in order to display a “design material” on the models with a good ratio.

    The issue now is that the UV map works well visually, but it’s not precise at all.

    I actually need to tell the UV map how much height and lenght it should be (as a ratio).

    Is there any way I can tell the uv map to be a particular number or something like that ? Rather than just editing the whole thing visually using the “non-uniform scale” tool ?

    Thank you in advance for your time and help ! 😍

    Sincerely,

    Keyzer

    I’m not a professional 3D modeller and i’m not fluent in english so sorry if my question wasn’t precise.

    I’m currently working on a plastic cup model which has a specific sizes.

    Let’s imagine that on this model height is 100 mm and width is 200 mm.

    I first modelled the cup, then I had problem with UV mapping while appyling logos/visuals on it.

    So I got into “BP -UV Edit” mode, I choosed “Cylinder” in the “Projection” pannel and then I played with the “non-uniform scale” tool until the square or circle logo I projected on the model got a good visual ratio.

    But now the problem is that visually isn’t innof, the ratio should be as precise as 100 x 200 mm. And as I did it visually it’s not precise at all. I talked with someone who use blender and apparently he could write precise numbers for the UV map ratio.

    Do you know any proper way to do this ?

    Thanks 🙏
