Work around for using more than 3 UVs in a mesh?

[pixelsmack]

I have an exported mesh of an Oil Rig. It was a bake out of 3DSmax from vRay. It contains 6 UV maps. I don't see anyway to non-destructively collapse them. Is there a way in Octane to gain access to all 6?

Nope, sorry. This is a core limitation.

Thanks,

Try to separate your mesh in several layers and spread your UVs into them.

I use different surface names and rename all my UVs into the same map called "UV". Works perfectly for me.

The UVMAP Node is indispensable for stuff like this. Set up the LW native 'color' channel with the UV assignment/color texture and use the UVMap Node set to 'get Textures from T channel' (Or whatever it says lol.).

Perfect !
