how do you set up the multi tile uv in maya, xsi or max...?
is the only way to use for each texture a new shader and assign them per face selection..?
no atomated way like in mud..?

Well personally speaking in max I have my uv set up on natrual borders and use a multi material on the whole model with one mat for the 1st tile, another for the 2nd tile etc..etc… If your a max 209 user I could knock out a quick example scene file tonight if it’d help.

Oh stay away from per-face (IMHO) that is a render layer problem waiting to happened

Are each of those projections in a different UV space ( I suppose they must be for Mudbox to have generated multi-maps)?
At the risk of asking a very dumb question, how do you set that up - to have each uv tile as a different texture projection?
My own workflow would be to import an obj from modo with multi-tile uv’s already in place - I don’t need to move the UV’s around, just set up each tile as its own projection.

there is only one projection… but the uv isles are layed out in tiles…

So how are you selecting the relevant UV tile?
Presumably this is in the texture_edit nodes… if so, could you explain just how? Are you translating or remapping? Or something else…
Even better would be a screen shot of the ppg for the one of the texture_edit nodes, with an indication as to how the tiles are laid out, in U or V.
Thanks Oglu for your help in this and other forums.

Thank you for the link and for making the compound available.
Unfortunately I cannot read German… and the compound itself is a blank page.
Do you have an example of it in use, where I can see what values have been used in which fields to map the image files to the uv tiles?
Apologies for my lack of understanding.

you have to translate the uv in the textur edit node… -2 for the third tile in U and so on…
