What is uv in maya and what is its use? What do you mean by unfolding uv?

UV is mainly an element for polygons and subdivision surfaces, and it is also the coordinate point for determining 2D textures. It controls the correspondence of textures on the model, where textures mainly refer to 2D textures.

UV coordinates are used to place 2D textures, such as file maps, on the model in 3D space.

The purpose is naturally to determine the position and put on suitable clothes for the model. For example, if a model needs a logo on it, then the place where the logo is located needs to be drawn on the map, but the map also needs the corresponding model, that is, UV coordinates.

Unfolding Uv is equivalent to cutting a box open and laying it flat, so as to determine the values in U direction and V direction.
