Maya 2016 UV Editing Improvements

Check out...

[TheIcemanModdeler]

Nice tutorial, yeah there have been some improvements in 2016 however there is still a lot of tools that need to be added for UV's, if you took a look at what Ninja Dojo plugin for Maya has like :
- Scale to Last ( Scales UV's to last selected object)
-Quick scale (Scales UV's based on pixel ratio and texture size)
-Check Ratio( Check Pixel Ratio of selected uv object)
-Tube Map ( Mapes tubes in a clean way)
-Straighten Horizontal / Vertical ( straightens selectev uv's)
-Align Center ( allights selected objects to center )
-Store Target UV ( sets a source uv )
-Match UV (Matches selected uv's by the source based on a tolerance slider).
And these are only a few things as Ninja Dojo has not only UV tools but tools for every area and i posted this in the Maya Feedback section so hopefully some of these will be added next year.

I'm glad Maya 2016 has made the leap to LSCM uv editing one of biggest issues with Maya was it's antiquated uv system. Kudos Autodesk!

this is AWESOME! I'm new to Maya. In school they use 2015 and most say they don't like 2016. I'm an O.G. Autocad user, so I am used to moving on with the newest version of products. I hope to blow away some people by using these new tools! Thanks for the video!

These are some really nice tools. The 3D grab tool in particular is fantastic. I like how this makes UVing seem more like an artistic process rather than a painful necessity.
Are these features going to make there way to MayaLT?

Best uv tutorial I have come across, actually taught me something useful, thank you.

[mayastudyd]

Thanks for the tutorials, you can also use the move pivot tool (insert key) to translate the UV shell

[andrewstanley]

Thank you! Great explanations and demonstrations. Easy to understand. You rock!

[Banjeoin]

Amazing stuff - being able to tweak the UVs in the 3D view looks like such a useful addition, can't wait to try it out! Also, how did you pop the UV shells over by exactly one unit at 19:59 ? Is there a keyboard/mouse shortcut for that? I'd love to find out! :)

Hi, Steven

Can you explain what exactly "Map size" does in Room space options (Unfold UVs)? changing it changes the unfold result but I don't understand how it affects the UVs otherwise..thanks in advance

I can't seem to find the Optimize and Unfold Interactive tools in my version of Maya 2016 (Student Version). Not sure if they are hidden in some menus or I forgot to download a pack or something. I have all the other Interactives such as the Sew and Cut, though.

Is there any way to toggle or brute-force-script off the feature where selecting an edge on the perimeter of a shell selects its sister edge on another shell that it shares seams with like at 7:20 - 7:50 ? I really cannot stand this feature and having used other software like 3DS Max and Blender for over ten years (and a bit of Lightwave) I find it hinders manually adjusting the edges and vertices of the perimeter. I know about the UV select option but having a separate selection that does roughly the same thing as selecting vertices and not being able to select and move a single edge on a seam without moving its sister edge on another shell is enormously counterintuitive and often frustrating for me.

In UV editor in maya 2016 when painting UV's with new pin UV Tool, there is no blue paint over shell, which is suppose to be. Am I doing something wrong?

[zhaowenized]

Can I use symmetry for uv unfold/optimize uv brush?

[brendananimation]

no idea how to use the cut tool. I select the edge and I hit the cut brush and nothing happens when I click over it. Also I cant seem to scale that brush. al the rest are fine. I hit reset tool but still nothing happens. Am I missing a step or is there a way to make it work? did I break it? help thanks

[chriswong]

uv editior now have different type display mode, uv checker tile mode, uv distortion mode,
can we display all object even we didn't select it? that kind of uv display mode, only shows when object is selected

[임수-rv]

Hello all, I have a problem. In Maya 2016, the Auto Unwrap UVs BonusTool does nothing when I activate it, the interface doesn't pop up like it used to in 2015. Have any of you experienced that problem? Have you found a solution? I can't seem to find any cases like that on google. I'd appreciate your help.

where the hell is the UVs texture editor option in Maya 2016? how can I only move the image?

[laissez-faire]

How do I exit out the "Ctrl+1"

[ronaldolamont]

Why is it that when Autodesk does tutorials you guys never talk about what was taken out, what was replaced with what, and how and why is it different? There outta be a tutorial for every new version of Maya, talking about what was replaced and why it was replaced. Or if it wasn't replaced and just moved, where was it moved to? This new UV'ing in Maya 2016 looks completely different than Maya 2015! It's frustrating that you guys don't talk about where and why things were moved around and replaced!
