 ====Multiple UVs====
-Some models may have more than one UV map per mesh. However, since not all programs support these, multiple UV maps should be divided up in a reversible manner. The easiest way to do this is to create a duplicate mesh for each additional UV map and assign one UV map per mesh, along with a duplicate material. In order for the split to be reversible, the meshes must have the ''exact same'' polygon structure. Otherwise, if you delete polygons or merge them with other objects, users will not be able to combine the UV maps back together. You are welcome to include the original, non-split version as well.

For the duplicate material, be sure to use the texture that is associated with the UV map, even if that texture isn't a color/diffuse texture.

+===UV Issues===
-While it is not necessary, submitting models with rigging is completely fine, and is encouraged when possible in order for models to be animated easier. The Models Resource only accepts rigged models in .dae, as it is a required base format. However, a .fbx file can be included if a .dae file is present in the submission.
+If the model has any noticeable UV issues, it will be rejected on the spot. The only exception to this is if the UV issue can be seen in game and can't be helped.

 ===Model Formats===
-Though you can include multiple formats, you need to at least have one model exported as .obj or .dae. Specific requirements for each format can be found below.
+When it comes to submitting models, you need to submit it as one of the mandatory file formats. Once you have one of those in your submission, you can also include any of the optional file formats listed below.
-====OBJ Specifics====
+Mandatory Formats:
-Alongside the actual *.OBJ model file must exist a corresponding *.MTL file.

+==Rendering Submission Icons==
 ===The (Small) Model Icon===
-The Small Icon needs to show a preview of what the model is/what it is about, by creating a render of the model.
