UVing & Texturing Options?


#1

Hi guys, I’ve been a Maya user for awhile while I had a student license and recently switched to Blender. I noticed the UVs in Blender work most of the time but occasionally they can be glitchy and unfold distorted even after creating seams, freezing the scale, etc. I have a zBrush license but their UV system can be a little difficult to work with after being used to Maya & Blender’s style of creating UVs.

What alternative programs are there for creating UVs for objects? Are there any other free options? What do you think is the best option for UVing and & texturing? Do you create UVs in one program and texture in another?

Thanks so much for the help!
