I did unwrap my mesh which consists of several parts. I did an export using EPS file format, then I applied several images to all the faces in Adobe Illustrator.

When I try to import the texture back into Blender the map is slightly off or just out of scale:

Q: Why the export is different in size? What am I doing wrong?

  • $\begingroup$ Hello :). Your canvas in Illustrator isn't perfectly square. That's why the UV doesn't perfectly align. You exported the UV from Blender as curves, right? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hi Jachym, i exported UV as an eps. Opened it in illustrator. Did not alter in any way exported as jpeg and applied. So not really sure it could be that? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hey, it must be a bug :). If you export it as SVG, it works just fine. But EPS is buggy. $\endgroup$

Don't use EPS to transfer UV maps - it only exports the occupied area.
Use SVG instead, it exports the whole UV canvas.
