Texture Channel UV vs. Model UV Setting (iClone 3.1)

When you modify the Offset or Tiling settings in the Material & Texture Settings section, you are merely modifying the specific texture to affect only the faces which covered under the same material ID. The UV of the face and the model are not re-built.

However, once you click the Apply button in the UV Settings section, iClone generates new UV for the whole model based on the selected UV type, and all your previous UV settings are replaced.

The result of the texture is to multiply the number from both them.
