Now to indicate the distorted areas, go to the Face sub object level and from the Select menu, click "Select Inverted Faces" and then the "Select Overlapped Faces" option. In the Selection Modes section, check the "Select Element" option to select the entire mesh and then use the Scale and Move tools to scale down and place your mesh inside the dark blue rectangle (Fig.06). When you feel it has finished, click "Stop Relax". Now click "Start Relax" and let it get to work. The Stretch value is better left at a low number. Increase the "Iterations" and "Amount" values and this will increase the pulling effect. You can also just right click and select the rectangle next to the Relax option from the menu to bring up the Relax Tool dialog window (Fig.05).įrom the drop down menu, select "Relax By Face Angles" which is the best option to use if you want to get the correct results. In the Edit UVWs window navigate to Tools > Relax. It's something like a ghost! OK, now click "Commit" to apply the operation.
It will flatten out the mesh and in my case it turned to this (Fig.04). Then click the "Start Pelt" button and let the stretcher do its work. This will give the stretcher more space to work. Select the entire mesh by checking the "Select Element" check box and scale it down to a little size. Just make sure that "Lock Open Edges" is checked.
In the Pelt map dialog window, in the Pelt options rollout, under the Springs section, you can increase four spinner numbers, which will totally increase the pulling effect. The lines connect the circle's points to the seam's points of the mesh. The circle around the mesh, which is called "Stretcher", will pull out the mesh on the surface. As soon as you click, a window will appear and should show something like this (Fig.03). When you have defined the seams then go to the face sub object level of the UVW Unwrap modifier and select part or all of your mesh and hit the Pelt button. If you select some faces or a part of the mesh and click "Pelt", the borders of the selected region will become pelt seams automatically. You can also quickly adjust the pelt seams by using the "Edit Seams" and "Point to Point Seams" options. Notice the blue lines which indicate the pelt seams? To define edges as pelt seams you can select the desired edges in the edge sub object level of the UVW Unwrap modifier and then in the Map parameters rollout click "Edge Sel to Seams". In my case I was working on a head mesh and I so defined the seams as shown in Fig.01 & Fig.02. Thus it's very important that you place your seams carefully. Pelt function needs you to define the Pelt Seams on your mesh, so it can pull out the mesh using those seams. So open up your object scene, select your object, navigate to the Modify panel/modifier list and apply a UVW Unwrap modifier from the list. When you've got the mesh correct, then you are ready for the next step. Firstly you should have a clean mesh, meaning that it is better if your mesh has been created with all quadrangular faces, and has no extra vertices or any such cases. It works well for organic and inorganic objects. The Pelt Mapping method gives you sufficient ability to do most of the mapping job without even hand editing UVs. I think in most cases, you don't need anything else for mapping objects. The UVW Unwrap modifier has a function named Pelt Mapping, which is a perfect tool for creating UVs for objects.

So I've decided to show you how to create qualified UVs inside 3ds Max. Many Important functions such as Displacement concept and Texturing are directly depended on an object's UVW mapping. In fact, you can't do much without a good UV set.

UVs are the key to taking full advantage of 3D software.
