maya move uv shells into 0-1 from relative position.
polycount sponsor
Does anyone know of a tool that will take uv shells and move them into the 0-1 uv range without changing their relative positions in the uv editor. I'm cleaning up some messy props and artists have their shells scattered randomly sometimes 100 tiles away from zero, I'd like to click a magic button and get these back in 0-1 without having to fix any uv's after the fact.

polyEditUV -u 1 -v 0 ;

polyEditUV -u -1 -v 0 ;
and etc..
He wants a one-click solution for pieces of UV anywhere outside the 0-1 range.
To do this you'd need to query the selection, find how far outside the 0-1 range they are, and offset them back by the opposite amount.
Sounds like a fairly straightforward script, I might take a quick look now...
mopGatherUVs
Just copy this .mel file into your My Documents/maya/scripts/ folder, type rehash; into the MEL command line to refresh your script folder so that it picks it up (otherwise restart Maya).
Then make a selection and type mopGatherUVs; into the command line. You could create a shelf button for this command.
Let me know how it goes.
Obviously this is used at your discretion, I accept no responsibility for any loss of work as a result of using this script (although I can't imagine anything would break that much, and you probably saved recently anyway, right?
Cody I never had your toolset I just had random one off buttons you ripped out for me.
Haha this is actually what I was looking for. Thanks!
Arriving late to the party, but, does anyone still have the MopGatherUV script? The link's 404, and I've been looking for something like this for days now.
Thank you.
lod3, have you found it ? I'm looking for this script as well
Thank you !

i select the shells i want to move and type in mopGatherUVs;
for a second a small window pops up, but the uvs stay exactly where they are and nothing else happens...
// Procedure to automatically put UVs back inside the 0-1 range.
mopGatherUVs;
global proc mopGatherUVs()
{
// Check selection.
string $uvSel[] = `polyListComponentConversion -tuv`;
if ( !`size $uvSel` )
{
error "Please make a UV selection to gather into the 0-1 range.";
}
// Flatten component selection.
$uvSel = `ls -fl $uvSel`;
// Show progress.
progressWindow
-title "mopGatherUVs"
-status "Gathering UVs..."
-max `size $uvSel`
-min 0
-isInterruptable 1;
for ( $uv in $uvSel )
{
// Check for user cancel request.
if ( `progressWindow -q -isCancelled` )
{
break;
}
float $pos[] = `polyEditUV -q $uv`;
float $offsetU = 0;
float $offsetV = 0;
int $move = 0;
// Find U offset.
if ( $pos[ 0 ] < 0 )
{
$offsetU = 1 - trunc( $pos[ 0 ] );
$move = 1;
}
else if ( $pos[ 0 ] > 1 )
{
$offsetU = 0 - trunc( $pos[ 0 ] );
$move = 1;
}
// Find V offset.
if ( $pos[ 1 ] < 0 )
{
$offsetV = 1 - trunc( $pos[ 1 ] );
$move = 1;
}
else if ( $pos[ 1 ] > 1 )
{
$offsetV = 0 - trunc( $pos[ 1 ] );
$move = 1;
}
if ( $move )
{
select -r $uv;
polyEditUVShell -r 1 -u $offsetU -v $offsetV;
}
progressWindow -e -s 1;
}
// Finish progress.
progressWindow -ep;
}
I have a problem with some models for a game, in the previous version I hat no problems with my models, but in the latest realese of the game I keep getting this error message on my models "Error: UVs out of range [-8,8]".
Question is, can I use this same procedure as "athyri" posted, or would this not work to correct these errors im getting ?

Just make sure it's set to Relative and X/Y will control up/down/left/right shell positioning. Moving it by 1 will shift everything 1 full tile.
