UV Issue

Complex UV Layout in Maya

Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Alright so I just finished mapping, I just had an issue that I can quite figure out. As you can see in the photos my UVs are all in 0-1 and my UV snap shot only shows the left bottom corner of the grid. I am going to keep messing around see if I cant get it.

Actually no, it's a bit fuzzy in the image, but it looks like your UVs are laid out in 0-2.9 or something similar.

Right, but if you look at the numbers in your UV texture editor, it looks like they go from 0-3 in x and 0-3 in y, so if you have your UV snapshot to just take 0-1, you'll only get 1/9th (to be precise) of your UV layout. I think you can either change the range that the snapshot takes, or better yet, change your UV texture editor back to 0-1 as it is by default.
