How to show UV grid in Sandbox?

[ncr]

Hi, I see lots of debug options for normals, etc. but how do I show the uv grid of a mesh in the sandbox?

We do not have that one but maybe you could replace the diffuse texture with a UV map?

@ncr you can select the material of a mesh and click here to edit the diffuse texture :

Then upload any UV map of your choice :

@Deltakosh I just noticed that default meshes UV are flipped, I used this texture :

this is because the texture has to be with invertY set to true (or false ;)) The default objects expect a specific Y direction(cannot remember which ones on top of my head)

Got it… would be nice if it were more of a checkbox (similar to how you visualize normals) but this is definitely going to help. Thanks!

Here is an example PG of using MaterialPlugin to debug UV without manually changing diffuse/albedo maps.
