Project configuration
The project setting window allows to modify a few properties related to the current project, such as the reloading of a new mesh.
Mesh Path
The File and Select button allows to update the current project's mesh at any moment. This allows to:
- Update the mesh topology
- Update the mesh UVs
- Add or Remove Texture Sets
When reloading a mesh, if the materials changed or have been renamed, the previous Texture Sets in the project can become disabled. This can be fixed with the Reassignment Window from the Texture Set List.
Project Settings
This sections control several settings related to the project:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal Map Format | Defines the format of the normal map used for the mesh in the viewport. Recommended value for common applications:
|
| Compute Tangent Space Per Fragment | Determines how to compute and display normal maps in the viewport for shading and lighting. Recommended value for common applications:
|
Changing the normal format or the tangent computation requires to re-bake the mesh maps to ensure that the look in the viewports is correct.
UV Tiles Settings
This section indicates if the current project is using any of the UV Tiles/UDIM texture workflow in the current project. For more information see the UV Tiles documentation.
Import Settings
These settings control how the selected mesh will be imported:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Import Cameras | If enabled, cameras present in the mesh file will also be imported and available in the 3D viewport as new point of view. |
| Preserve strokes positions on mesh | This setting controls how brush strokes will be recomputed after importing a new 3D mesh. It is recommended to keep this setting enabled in most cases. For more details see the UV Reprojection documentation. |
| Auto-Unwrap | Automatic UV Unwrapping. Click on the Option button to configure the process. For more information see the dedicated documentation. |
