The seams are highlighted and you can modify the color in the Seam Color field. Tip:Enable Show UV Seam to see which edges you've already marked as seams. For more information, see Shortest Path Selection. It allows you to select elements between the most recently selected and the current element under the cursor position.

Tip: Shortest Path Selection can help you select tricky areas. 8.Д¬ontinue making selections and clicking Add Seam until you have selected all the seams you need. Note:If you click Add Seam with no edges selected, all edges are added as seams. This adds the selection as a new seam to the UV seam map. Additional settings become available depending on which type you select.Д¬lick OK to close the Create New Vertex Map dialog. 5.Д®nter a Vertex Map Name, then select the Vertex Map Type. Tip:You can pin the menu by clicking the circle in the top-right corner. 3.Д¬lick the UV tab on the left above the toolbox, and click Cut Map. The selected edges become the boundaries of UV islands, which are connected groups of polygons in a UV map. This makes it easy to unwrap an entire character into multiple islands simultaneously. Select a continuous loop of edges over the geometry to define the outer edge for separated UV islands. Note:For more information on selection modes, see Selection Mode Types.

Make sure you're in Edges selection mode and select a series of edges you want to cut the geometry along. Once you have your mesh ready in the viewport, open the Modo layout. This makes creating complex selections easier.

Use the Cut Map tool to gradually add multiple selections as seams.

Select all edges at once and then activate UV Unwrap.

There are two ways you can create seams for UV Unwrap: The UV Unwrap tool acts on any visible foreground geometry, so you may want to hide any geometry that should not be affected.

Tip:Try to hide any seams in the least accessible areas (such as the back of a head under the hair or under the arms). Therefore, put some thought into which edges to select for the best results.ДЇor more information on UV maps, see Working with UV Maps. UV mapping focuses on managing the stretching and the distortion that comes with representing a 3D surface in a 2D plane. UV unwrapping unfolds the mesh at the seams and lays it out on a flat page. The UV Unwrap tool provides an elegant solution to creating UV maps from almost any kind of mesh, from hard surface to organic.
