COPs flow across UV islands Sept. 17, 2025, 2:47 a.m.
Hi all,
Just started learning COPs and already my brain has been broken. I'm hoping someone can perhaps point me in the right direction.
(I've uploaded ref images in the hopes it helps to makes sense of my question)
Basically I tried to experiment with a flow texture on piece of geometry. I wanted to find the starting positions by baking it from a reference geo. I then fed it into a flow block but then quickly realized it wasn't going to be flowing across UV island borders in a similar way to Substance Painter.
Is there a way to achieve this flow that I am unaware of? I Googled as much as I could but didn't find an answer.
