Tiles are managed in the UDIM Tiles panel where they can have a generated image assigned to them. UDIM which stands for U DIMension is based on a tile system where each tile is a different texture in the overall UDIM texture array.īasically each tile consists of its own UV space (0-1, 1-2, 2-3) and have its own image assigned to that tile. UDIM offers a solution to this by being able to spread UV islands across several different textures. When using a singular texture, the resolution might be too low to cover larger UV islands while being inefficient for smaller, less important islands. RenderMan is constantly evolving to meet new creative and technical challenges and to take advantage of the latest advances in computer technology.

This causes issues if you have a very large mesh with geometry of different importance. RenderMan® is Pixar’s Academy Award®-winning rendering technology, excelling at producing stunning imagery for VFX and feature film animation. Most of the time this is sufficient but the disadvantage is that the texture is one resolution for the entire mesh. Using UV maps can have one disadvantage, they consist of one texture for the entire mesh.

This video will guide you through how to set up a UDIM texture, and what you need to consider about them when you need to export your model to other software such as Substance Painter for texturing. In this video we tackle a fairly advanced feature in Blender – UDIM tiles!

In this tutorial we’ll see how to set up a UDIM texture in Blender tutorial by Richard “ Dikko”.
