Blender 2.8: UV Seams Explained in 3 Minutes!

Alright guys, we are making our way to the good stuff. I know these explanation videos might seem a little basic for those of you who are more advanced, but I really want new users to be able to follow a streamlined playlist if they've never done this before. This next video tackles what I believe to be one of the most confusing things for new 3D artists to get their head around the first time. I'm hoping this video helps clear the subject up for those still trying to grasp their head around. Please enjoy, and I look forward to seeing you all in the next tutorial coming soon!

Perfect. Why is it so difficult for other channels to get to the point, and stay there. It's weird.

[@swishfish8858]

Pros want to stay on top and stay special. That doesn't happen when everyone knows how the important stuff works.

[@Lmpy]

Gatekeeping if I were to guess. I leaned everything I know about blender with obscure tutorials, trial and error and actually good videos like this. Every "Pro" I asked gave a complex answer with terminology that obviously was unnecessary and word soup. Other's i asked refused and told me that I should've already learned that by now or that I should've watched some archaic tutorials just to find one issue I had.

[@leandroteloli6968]

Man I thought exact the same thing! This is the best tutorial I've ever seen, all my questions have been answered. Wtf it's perfect.

[@DontTakeCrack]

a mix of "teaching is hard" and "blender's quality of usability is very low" i would say

[@killerthepro756]

You Are Right

Great tutorial. Straight to the point with no fluff and so much easier to understand than all of those other YT vids. 10/10

[@jns08d]

Hands down the best tutorial on understanding seams.

[@michaelcheng9987]

You have no idea how much my class did not explain this, that you just did in a single sentence. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@DontTakeCrack]

thanks for the video. im a beginner using 3.4 and i also learned a few extra things here: 1. Blender by default does not auto sync your edit mode and UV edit mode. You'll have to toggle that in the UV edit mode. 2. Interestingly, your UV editor is auto-unwrapping as you mark these seams. There's another setting I had to toggle under "Active Tool -> Options -> UV - Live Unwrap" to get that working.

[@PCgmesforever]

I love how enthusiasticly he always says Naaada problem :D really makes you feel some comfort after all usual struggle of finding tutoring you need

[@hiteshverma7053]

This is the only video i needed to watch to learn seams. Thanks!

First time here on your channel. The information is great, there's nothing else really to add to this informative video about seams in Blender. Also, first impressions got me thinking the following : "Eh... He looks a bit excited". I'll seek further for more information from people like you.

SEAM is just wonderful thing

[@yeshodeepdohre9542]

Thank you brother you taught me.

[@pyros.]

Other youtubers: "Let me show you how to unwrap "this" object and then go do the same on yours." Royal Skies: "Let me show you what these red lines actually do and how they interact with each other." I literally just went from cutting random lines all over until it seems to work out... To actually perfectly unwrapping a fairly complex piece of armour and understanding why it actually worked.

[@fandrawerNgundam]

that outro music always reminds me of phantasy star online good tutorials as always!

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Haha, Thanks. The music is from a game series called "Armored Core". They are both future sci-fi kinda genres so that probably makes sense-

[@blackc7396]

Very helpful.Thank you so much

ok, you are pro and your extpanation is great! I subscribed! thank you for the vodeo.

[@muhammedbaykul3194]

Hello. Thanks for the video. What is Mark Sharp used for? Your objects had blue colour edges that I thought, were Mark Sharp on corners, first. But then you changed them to Mark Seam. But I didn't understand what it was used for.

[@Hakingha]

[@gronko_chug_butter]

Why are some of the edges blue?

[@ClownXmachina]

Yes ! Jap-Gulty Gear art shading all the way ! I wanna start a YT 3d anime show and Ideally hook up with someone. I have some modeling and animation experience but learning atm. I wanna lean towards Blender-Unreal (got cinema, maya, 3ds max, etc...)

[@TheRoyalSkies]

It's a great art style, and it saves quite a lot of time on texturing as well. Just stay focused and put in the time, your goals are totally within the realm of doable-

[@TriMiguelsional]

Good Video Thanks

[@Soracj]

Thanks 4 all the videos, they've cleared quite a lot of my 'fears' how/where did u learn about all this stuff, btw?

[@TheRoyalSkies]

No problem, I'm real glad to hear they've been helping you. As far as where I learned all this stuff. It's a bit of a story, but I started teaching myself to make video games from the 10th grade. And, I made a bunch of 3D models throughout high-school to prepare for a game I wanted to finish by college. So, by the time I got to the middle of college, I had about 5 years of experience modeling, rigging, texturing, and animating. And, the last 3 years of college I spent programming everything together. And, that's the project you see me sharing at the end of each video. The tutorials I'm making now is just me sharing everything I've learned in the last 12 years. But, there's honestly no reason it should take you as long as it took me to learn. My goal in the next 6 months, is that you all know how to do everything that took me 12 years to learn. Hopefully saving you a bunch of time. But, yeah. That's the story. Sorry if it was long. Very few people actually ask that question lol. Anyway, hope it helps and welcome to the channel :)

Seems intresting :D

[@leoli5343]

they said passion was the best teacher, but in 3d/Blender teaching I think royal skies is very good too...

[@hypingbts]

I know how to unwrap a cylinder but how should I do it with a bended shield WITH texture?????

[@qtzz]

Literally this guy is right next to Ian

[@dvs9006]

Does this also work on complex models too? For example a model with 10k verts?

[@quiesce8882]

you are the best

[@lordhumungus3157]

Loving the short to the point tutorials! One question, is it me or the seams are now automatic? I select the cilinder and it separates the circles and the rectangles just like you did with the seam

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Thanks, and yes. I believe it automatically UV's the basic shapes you get from 'shift + a' :)

[@lordhumungus3157]

@@TheRoyalSkies ohhh all right, thanks!

[@superstringcheese]

At this point if you just open Blender, delete everything, and hit UV Unwrap, you'll get an unwrapped cylinder. This has got to be the trillionth tutorial on it, and that's because it's the simplest thing other than a cube, but it looks better on the UV layout.

[@junsangjz1242]

When i clear seams there's pink seams what to do? Rather what is itt!?
