UV Messs

[spurv]

Hi guys,

Help please!
I noticed that my geometry was not symmetric so I deleted 1 side then I Symmetrized and Merged, then I used gator to transfer my uvs from the old mesh (the none symmetric mesh) and this is what I get

Please someone!

UV transfer via gator is unreliable. It does what you see there and often weld or heals points that you didn't want healed. If you are cutting your model in half and re mirroring I would recommend that you duplicate and scale -1 instead of symmetrizing the model to get the 2 sides then merge them and keep the uv's in tact. After that select the mirrored half and flip those UV's in the editor and re heal the center seams as needed.

Clean up the excess clusters and stuff as needed also.

Ok Jesse, that makes sense, ill try it, tks for your help!

Gator can do the job , just chose (Closest Vertex) In transfer method in the gator operator option .

I did that but it doesnt work. i assume that this is something about vertex order, I wonder if ICE in 2012 cant help reorder the vertex.
