uvmodulesets

uvmodulesets is a term that refers to a collection or set of UV modules. In the context of 3D computer graphics and game development, UV modules are typically small, self-contained pieces of UV map data. These modules are used to efficiently represent and manipulate the texture coordinates of complex 3D models. Instead of managing a single, massive UV map for an entire object, artists can break it down into smaller, reusable, and more manageable segments.

The concept of uvmodulesets allows for greater flexibility in texturing workflows. For instance, a single uvmodule could represent a specific part of a character's body, like an arm or a leg, or a particular component of a prop, such as a wheel or a handle. These individual modules can then be assembled into a complete uvmoduleset to form the full UV layout of the 3D model. This modular approach simplifies tasks such as UV unwrapping, texture painting, and the application of different materials to various parts of a model. It can also aid in optimizing texture memory usage, as identical modules can share the same texture space if designed appropriately.
