Help : problems with UVs when exporting to fbx

[nerik]

Hello there !

I'm a Unity3D developer and I must say I have no experience with SoftImage at all... But I'm trying to work with meshes that my 3D artist made with SI and we're running into some problems.

We are working on a small project for a museum about sharks.
I have these 3 shark meshes that the 3D artist is making using Softimage.
2 out of 3 are looking good (I had to swap UV channels though), but the UVs from the third are broken no matter what we try.





What's complicated is that the artist doesn't know a thing about Unity, and I don't know a thing about Softimage...

So if anyone knows a common pitfall, or at least have some pointers, that would be really heplful. Right now we are really stuck

Thanks heaps everyone !

Erik


Edited by gustavoeb: When using big images try using the rimg tag. Here is how to: https://www.si-community.com/forum/v ... =37&t=2171

To be sure, check with Autodesk FBX viewer (it is free, and I use it to check exports).

Else, maybe a Normal issue? Or to many texture projections on this mesh? Freeze it and reexport it?

Hello,

Thanks Matt for your answer.

You were right, there are too many UV projections (3 while Unity only support 2). I checked that importing the fbx in Blender.

Could you please confirm that it is possible to remove unnecessary projections in Softimage? If so, is that something easy to do?
Right now the artist who I'm working with seems not to be able to do that

I'm really stuck, thanks heaps for your help !

I can see the 3 projections in Softimage, but I can't delete/discard the 2 first ones I don't need...

Is it possible to remove UV projections in Softimage??

Thanks!

Open the explorer, select the model ("E" key in the explorer to isolate the model, if you prefer).
Open the cluster list, select the undesired UV, press Canc.
