I have Substance Painter and designer. I am not a modeler. In iClone I have tried to use some of the models/props to paint but the real problem is that the creator of them has not made that possible. The UV maps are so lacking. That means we can only paint or put materials on what UV we have available. This is very bad for us that want to fully custom paint or put on materials to our models and props for a project.

I understand that the Models can be unwrapped and then remapped but that is a huge process (well to me) and so we have to pay someone to do that. I know that modeling is hard work but why not give users of your 3d creations the needed UV Map options?

Quality models and props are an issue too. I saw that Hollywood offers Super Quality items for a Huge price, LOL Yes that is life, you get what you pay for, right? I have made purchases that claimed to be full UV and were not (on other 3d model shops).

What are your thoughts on this? Are you satisfied with your purchased 3d models/props as they are? Can it be done better by the modelers? Should they provide us with  full UV maps? Is it too much work for them to do?

I guess my point here is that we do need full UV options on our items we purchase so we can have the options needed for custom painting or adding materials in iClone for our specific needs on our movie projects.

Other than all of us learning 3d modeling is there another solution? iClone gives us a great ability to do so much but without the FULL  UV maps we need it seems pointless to buy 3d  models/props without them! Also what about the component names too? So confusing and what is this or that area? Such a waste of our time without proper IDs. AND when modelers add things like texts and numbers to items that we can not remove or change without PS? Not all of have PS or experience to do that.

If 3d modelers did this they may actually sell more items.
