Assign Materials by UV Island Help needed. I am using Blender 2.79 - I have a dress that I modeled and then unwrapped in UV layout. The problem is that I never added any material zones. What I would like to do now is add materials by UV island without having to try to select all those proper polys in 3d menu. Is there a way to add material zones by uv? Any help is appreciated!
If you are in your UV Editor, you could select a Polygon Face of any island and then hit L on your keyboard to select the island , after that you could assing a material.



Hope that helps.

Good Luck
