Now manually move the UVs around do they aren't overlapping or do a 'Pack' and let it do it automatically. You'll then need to tweak some tiling and such to get things to look right.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If you use Path Tracing in UE, you won't need to worry about overlapping UVs. You can just adjust the material on an object and be good to go. There are a ton of tutorials on the subject if you Google it.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 28 Oct 2023 15:09:09 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/how-to-uv-map-walls/m-p/12337704#M5351 RobH2 2023-10-28T15:09:09Z
