Why is it called UV map?
What are UVs? UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 2D image onto a 3D model’s surface. The term “UV” refers to the bidimensional (2D) nature of the process: the letters “U” and “V” denote the axes of the 2D texture because “X”, “Y” and “Z” are already used to denote the axes of the 3D model.
Can you have multiple UV maps in a mesh?
You can have multiple UV maps for parts of the mesh by creating new UV maps. This can be done by clicking the Add button next to UV maps list (in Object Data tab in the Properties Editor) and unwrapping a different part of the mesh. UV maps always include the whole mesh.
