Figure 17-48: The
organized UVWs
Now that we have all of our pieces planar mapped and orga-
nized, we can start putting them together by grabbing one
edge that would connect to another. Here I've started by
selecting one of the forehead edges that would connect with
the side of the head.
Figure 17-49: The
edges that we'll
be stitching
A nice little Max feature marks a connecting edge by turning
it blue. Any selected edge will also show its connecting edge.
Go up to the File menu and select Tools > Stitch Selected.
Stitching is a way to quickly weld UVW edges. This is another
option I have hotkeyed and use religiously.
