- Ensure
the model meets the criteria described in
Prepare a model for sculpting.
For example, to view the UV texture coordinates for a model in 3ds
Max select Modifiers > UV Texture Coordinates
> Unwrap UVW. The Unwrap UVW modifier
has many tools for correcting UV texture coordinate issues on the
model. Consult the 3ds Max documentation for further information.
NoteModifying the layout
and distribution of the UVs on a mesh does not affect the layout
and distribution of the faces on the 3D polygonal mesh, but it does
impact any painting and texture mapping you might want to perform.
For more information, see
UVs overview.
