Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library as a focused fix for a specific Blender problem: consolidating mismatched UV layers left behind when imported models are joined.

What is Uv-Outfit - Merge?

UV Outfit - Merge is a Blender addon built for the 2.8x series that combines multiple UV layers into a single one. When a model is imported from another 3D application, it often inherits a different UV layer name such as UVW, UVSet or UVTexture. Joining several of these models in Blender leaves the resulting mesh with two or more UV layers under different names, and this addon resolves that.

For reliable results, each mesh segment should be unwrapped on only a single UV map. If a segment is unwrapped across several maps, the merged map may not carry the desired layout for those segments. The developer has mentioned a future update to help diagnose and resolve these cases.

The addon runs across Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92 and 2.93, and ships with documentation. It is offered under a royalty free license, and a demo video is available.

The addon comes from CGjazziQ and has been published for over five years. Documentation is included with it, and a demo video is available if you want to see how it works before installing.

Does every mesh segment need to be unwrapped on a single UV map?

UV Outfit - Merge works best when every mesh segment is unwrapped on only a single UV map. The developer notes that if a segment is unwrapped across several maps, the merged map may not contain the desired layout for those segments. To avoid unexpected results, confirm each segment sits on one UV map before running the merge. The team has mentioned a future update to help diagnose and resolve these cases.

What happens to UV layers with different names when models are joined?

UV Outfit - Merge addresses models imported from other 3D applications, which often inherit UV layer names like UVW, UVSet or UVTexture. When such models are joined in Blender, the result can carry two or more UV layers with different names. The addon merges these multiple UV layers into a single one, resolving the mismatch that joining creates. A demo video is also available for the addon.
