Exporting UV Maps from Modo to Colorway

You can switch between the available UV maps exported for a part in Colorway on a per material or per-texture basis, as you might have different textures that require different looks. This video shows you how to export UV maps from your parts in Modo, to your .dci in Colorway.

 

In the video:

• You can export multiple UV maps for each part from Modo to Colorway.

• You can export as many UV maps as you need for each part.

Note:  Increasing the amount of UV maps rendered per part results in longer render times.
