Is it okay to overlap UVs?
There’s nothing wrong with UV maps overlapping. Depending on what you’re looking to unwrap, you may wish to use Cube Projection, Sphere Projection or Cylinder Projection instead of simply UV unwrapping by default. You can find these options below “Unwrap” in the “UV” dropdown. You may also wish to use Smart UV Unwrap.

Tip: You can correct overlapping UVs and UV shells using the Unfold and the Layout features. For more information see Layout UV shells. You can also view the borders for a UV shell by selecting View > Toggle Shell Borders or View > Toggle Texture Borders.
Is it possible to make overlapping UV’s in Blender?
Yes, there is definitely added value from having good overlapping UV as well, to improve texel density. But assuming you have some well laid out UV, and your target isn’t game use, it doesn’t seem to me that it would be that hard to add an extra UV map where you just hit ctrl-a, ctrl-p to make it non-overlapping.
Is there a way to make UV maps not overlap?
Uv maps overlap. Help! I used unwrap and didnt move anything in the uv, most of the overlapping uv s dont even share any vertices. Any way to make them not overlap? Select everything and hit ctrl+p and its gonna pack everything into the UV square.
How many UV maps do you need in Blender?
By default, a primitive object just added into your scene has a UV Map called “UV Map” that is populating the list. We can have a maximum of 8 UV maps added to a single object. That should be plenty for any UV Mapping needs. Most often we use one, but sometimes multiple UV Maps may be needed.
Where are the UV coordinates stored in Blender?
In Blender we can have multiple sets of U and V coordinates. Each set stored in a separate UV Map. The UV Maps live with the mesh object and the list of UV Maps for a specific object can be found in the properties panel. Go to the mesh data tab and find the UV Map section.
