Best Practices and tips for UV Mapping?

You should always maintain the same UV scale on your meshes to avoid problems with different texture size. What I do is I’ve got all objects in one 3ds Max project and I apply “checker” texture to each object so I can test UV unwrapping.

How do I go about doing this? and does this make my texture the same size in unreal? I’ve tried advanced UV normalizer (Advanced UV Normalizer | ScriptSpot) which is supposed to make the materials the same size, but I can’t seem to get it working right. I’m probably just being stupid, I know once I have done this once I’ll be able to do it a million times over again, it just getting the process down the first time.

I use 3ds Max for that with no 3rd party tools. There is auto-unwrap feature but it doesn’t work OK every time. I heard about “Unwrella”, but I haven’t tested this yet.

I also saw this tool, looks handy.
