UVMap3D
3D texture-coordinate mapping
Creates or modifies UV texture coordinates so images and procedural textures map correctly across 3D geometry.

DaVinci Resolve · Fusion
Creates or modifies UV texture coordinates so images and procedural textures map correctly across 3D geometry.
Overview
What UVMap3D does
Creates or modifies UV texture coordinates so images and procedural textures map correctly across 3D geometry.
Mental model
UVs are instructions that tell a flat image where to sit on a 3D surface; UVMap3D edits those instructions.
Common uses
Generate planar, cylindrical or spherical mapping
Fix texture scale and orientation
Align graphics on meshes
Prepare imported geometry for Fusion materials
Flow anatomy
Inputs & outputs
The port structure shows how this node fits into a Fusion graph.
SceneInput
Source data used to create or modify the material, texture or mapping result.
UVMap3D
Fusion node
SceneOutput
Processed texture, mapping or material data for the next 3D shading stage.
Inspector
Important parameters
Start with these controls before reaching for more complicated workarounds.
Controls / Orientation X, Y, Z
Chooses the projection axis used to generate the UV mapping.
Controls / Fit
Fits the generated UV projection automatically to the object bounds.
Controls / Center
Sets center for UVMap3D.
Controls / Lock UVs on Animated Objects
Links UVs on Animated Objects so they change together.
Size / X, Y, Z
Sets X, Y, Z.
Center / X, Y, Z
Offsets the center of the UV projection in 3D space.
Rotation / Order
Chooses the Euler rotation order used by UVMap3D.
Rotation / X, Y, Z
Sets X, Y, Z.
Tile / U Tile, V Tile, W Tile
Sets how many times the texture repeats along U, V and W.
Flip / U, V, W
Flips the generated UVW coordinates along the selected axes.
Settings
Standard Fusion node settings for processing, masks, blending and animation.
Practical setup
A reliable workflow
- 1
Prepare the source image, texture, material or mesh that UVMap3D will use.
- 2
Insert UVMap3D at the stage where mapping or shading should change.
- 3
Use a simple test material or checker pattern while tuning UVMap3D.
- 4
Verify scale, orientation and color/alpha interpretation before judging UVMap3D.
- 5
Render UVMap3D under a neutral test light before adding final look development.

Material workflow
UVMap3D prepares or modifies a material-related branch before rendering.

Reusable texture setup
UVMap3D stays isolated so the same mapping or texture can be reused.

Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
Changing several UVMap3D parameters at once and losing track of which control caused the result.
Approving UVMap3D from a single still frame without checking motion or representative lighting.
Adding extra controls around UVMap3D before the basic source, transform and render path is known to work.
Production notes
Practical tips
Name UVMap3D by purpose when a composition contains several instances.
Use a lightweight preview while tuning UVMap3D; restore the intended quality settings before the final render.
