In nuce: 3D artist-slash-industrial designer Jorge del Valle has released his free UV Checker Map, which allows 3D models to be checked for texture distortion – and then downloaded in a resolution of up to 8K.
In toto: The checker maps are user-definable (for example in terms of grid size, colours and numbering). In addition, the text colour can be automatically adapted to the background via convenience functions – which should increase readability. Digital Production would like to thank Jim Thacker from cgchannel.com, who first pointed out Valle’s web app (which was already released in 2021).
