OT: Am I the only one who thinks this new reply format sucks royally? Firefox spellchecker doesn't work anymore, and it puts way too much space in between lines of text...

 

Anyway, this is how all the Daz people have been from the getgo, and I suspect all the Poser people too, at least since Judy. Can't really remember - all with overlapping UVs.

It doesn't need to be that way. It shouldn't be that way. There's no good reason at all not to use multiple tiles. All the "pro" programs (that I can think of) can deal with multiple UV regions, and apparently Poser can too.

It's time to stop overlapping UVs when making figures, clothes, whatever. There's no reason for it, aside from maybe to accommodate earlier versions of Poser. But hey, progress moves forward and designing for the past is unproductive. ;-)

Think about us 3D painters out here. This was alot of work I had to do just to be able to paint on the whole OBJ at once.
