20 Tips to Speed Up UV Mapping in Blender

[@riccardobancone3761]

This is not a “tips” video, this is the ultimate guide to UV unwrapping in blender! Great job!

[@MrBogfrog]

Thank you so much for including a timestamp list! It's amazing how many people make "list" videos and don't do this.

[@skjahirhossain5084]

You covered all option of uv maping in a single video. I learn all these option by viewing 8 videoes. If i found this video before i can save my precious time. Thank you bro for your amazing voice and teaching style. Because you use multiple object to show us correct use of that option which i never find others tut. So now i became your fan and going to watch your reamining video

[@utc-8human197]

My goodness. This is like a big treasure chest of TIPS!! THANK YOU!!!

[@berkzafer8045]

Most useful UV Mapping Tutorial I've seen so far. Thank you.

[@amdx1975]

The best blender UVs tuturial I've ever seen before! Thanks a lot!

[@ian_snyder]

Wow, the mirror seams tip :O All tools that I knew about, never thought about using it that way. So helpful!

[@mrnevermind]

I have no further question. This video is impeccable.

[@belajb]

texture painting and rigging would be amazing! as always this is an amazing video...tyvm! your one of the best teachers on you tube...your english is great!

[@brunocastro4558]

Make mine your words !!

[@a.schubert2538]

Thank you so much for this! I was struggling with some issues by unwrapping my objects. With this video you solved them.

[@satyakimandal6572]

By far the best UV tips video in youtube.

[@robotorhummingbird444]

I admire anyone who can speak a second language! your english sounds brill to me!

[@peterjaritz1642]

Super tutorial! I would love to see a subject-based UV unwrap tutorial, especially for hard surface modelling!

[@atantalas]

Thank you for these wonderful tips. Very easy to follow and informative! Please keep making more wonderful videos and don't mind the negative reaction on how you say words in english. :) You are awesome!

[@satyakimandal6572]

Definitely the best UV related video of blender in youtube :)

[@RomboutVersluijs]

A tip when using live unwarp in the uv editor. Its also helps relaxing models. If you have unwrapped a model add a couple pins with some uv space around it. Then select one a press G, most of the times a uv mesh will spread to a more relaxed method.

[@ama3dartist316]

Great Man.... Pls Dont worry about the people who criticize you.... You are ahead of them.... you did nice job...

[@fiendish55]

Rigging and skinning needs some love imo very few right workflow tutorials for them

[@DavideTirindelli]

Super useful video, you're my hero :-)! I think some texturing tips in general would be great (both painting and correctly applying image or photo textures on a model) and another topic could be some tips on how to add details on a model... And thanks again for all the great videos in the channel!

[@ChrisD__]

Davide Tirindelli Those are two I struggle with too.

[@brunocastro4558]

Me too.

[@alperozgunyesil]

One of the best stuff about UV map in the KZbin. Thaaaank you!

[@waltage]

brilliant lesson! Please update it for 2.8!

[@Ridgerunner2270]

This was very helpful. Thank you for making it!

[@deadpoet22]

Your English kicks ass my friend. English is my second language, I had the opportunity to learn by being immersed. I respect the fact that you are learning it through your own efforts, that seems much more challenging. You sound great, and seeking to improve yourself only makes me admire and respect you more.

[@MrBobbyd45]

A texture painting tutorial would be great.Thanks for all the tips.

[@natgrant1364]

Incredibly helpful! Liked and subscribed.

[@basquera3d]

Your channel is great, man! I started with Blender now and your videos helps me a lot. Tks...!

[@baf_mcnab3065]

Awesome collection of tips. Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us. Now I am off to look for tutorials on texture painting in blender, hint hint :)

[@jeffersonnmoreiraaa]

Wow!!! Amanzing Zac, I did not know several tips, thanks

[@grabbitt]

thanks for the tips. I would love to see a tutorial on texture atlas. I never managed to get it to work. especially trying to get a few objects that have already been textured into 1 bake. many thanks

[@MrBlendercross]

Very help full TuT ! ...and texture painting is interesting for an next TuT....

[@grainzart]

Thanks! Shading tips would be great to see

[@alainpierre]

Good tips! Liked! Subscribed! Pls continue with the videos! I would like to see more about texturing, specially about materials, nodes, bakes, etc.

[@GerritSchulze]

Very useful video! Best 30min. I have spent today on something non-productive! I'd like to see some Retopo tips, if you ask me.

[@nandrianinaharifera4244]

Thank you very much for this great tips, now I love UV mapping :D

[@premiero]

"texture painting" is way confusing to me in Blender, some tips on this topic are highly appreciated

[@Hinstea]

SELECT FACES THEN CREATE DIFFERENT MATERIALS

[@ysr1910]

thanks Zacharias you are the best :)

[@ProxyDoug]

One thing worth mentioning is that you can unite vertices in the UV Editing window by selecting a vertex, pressing V and selecting the other instance of that vertex in the map.

[@YouTubsel]

There are only so few things I feel I am missing from Modo that by Blender 2.8 I will try to make the switch. So. Damn. Cool. All those workflow tricks should really have their own Separate Appendix in the Blender Manual for each Category. Manual > Modeling / UVMapping etc. > [reference manual categories] + Workflow Tips and tricks I think a lot of these tricks are what many users are really missing out on before switching over to Blender. No matter if they switch completely or just as an additional software. Those quick tips are the shit for expereienced users. Persiod. :D

[@ToonyxLP]

I would love to see either Particeles, Shading or Compostitin in a new Video. Good work mate!

[@onjofilms]

Nice job, great tips. Thanks.

[@timbboerner]

Shading and/or rendering please! :D great video btw Thank you Zach

[@Varamthir]

Great video, awesome tips! I realy would like to see some tips and workflows on texturing objects, and about bledner texturing tools :D

[@austin5321]

This is one of my favorite tips videos thank you!! It helped me so much :)

[@flyinsparkey]

you english language is better than most english people thanks for information keep up the good work

[@pierreldar]

Thanks so much for those tips

[@masuka1993]

i cant believe ive never watched this video... thank you very much!

[@Jacur1980]

Great video, thank you. Also uber cool you added the timestamps/topics list like a real YT pro ;)

[@matteopellegrini3910]

It's fantastic!!!! Thank U so much!!!

[@AlimayoArango]

Spectacular as Usual. Thank you :D

[@ragnardimarzo]

Tanks for your great tutorial!

[@oumiaboubakar5560]

Perfect!!! And very very helpful! Thank you very much! Great work! Texture painting would be appreciate :) Ty :)

[@mkd1964]

Let me tell you something about your English.. it's FINE. In fact, you are the first person I've heard who CORRECTLY pronounced "Smart UV Project". In every video I've seen - done by a native speaker of English - they pronounce it "PRO-ject" - as if it's a project they're working on. Listen up people, it's "pro -JECT" .. like a projection on a screen. The vast majority of Americans can't even speak a second language, so screw 'em. (I'm an American - but I speak pretty decent German, plus some Spanish and French - so I have the right to say that). Ausgezeichnetes Video. Sehr hilfbar. Danke.

[@lcc9769]

German Blender Tutorials are Best Tutorials.

[@cedricwright4161]

I absolutely agree with mkd1964...dude. Your videos are super helpful AND easy to understand. Any "language barriers" you feel you're running into really are a non-issue. Sometimes I play your videos w/o watching, just to listen for things I didn't know, while I work on something unrelated in Blender--and guess what--I can understand you perfectly! Typically, my advice would be to ignore ppl who would troll you so childishly, however, you've exceeded my recommendation and actually allowed them to make you better. Love that! Keep up the good Blender work and make sure any "linguistic challenges" you take on are for you and no one else!

[@Artem-ol1rw]

It's very useful! Thanks a lot!

[@cameronberry5794]

Stunning tutorial - Very palatable. - I may just move on from just using smart UVs ;)

[@mostofakamal9107]

Great tips here to follow up.

[@Plrang]

(texture painting) Nice, came here by chance and I found some new tricks, thanks

[@Olstman]

Hi Zacharias. Thank you for such cool tips! According to live unwrap in image editor that was great discovery for me. Thank you! Just one refinement according to island selection on 3d view. (24:30) you mentioned that it doesn't working in vertex mode. Well actually it isn’t true. If you select one vertex and press L or ctrl+L (Select Linked) and then F6 (or see operator on T panel), You'll see that there is several option to select linked. One of them is Seam. Once you choose this method it will be used by default during the end of current blender session. This is not criticism)) Just want to share this tip with you. Best wishes!

[@jonasmlgaard8884]

Lots of usefull stuff there. Nice job and thanks!

[@ItsTime4Africa]

Thanks for your great work !!! Btw... your english improved a lot :-)

[@farnazmarianoshokrifard8446]

Thank you so much , I really enjoyed it. I would also like to see a video tutorial from you regarding Baking . I am struggling to Bake a Logo that i put on a bottle and transfer it to Unity.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

That 21 is also good to select materials or UVs. In the tools panel you can set the option of what yu want to use with select linked. Ctrl + L

[@noprofile6845]

Not only is your english OK, but pleasant enough that thinking this video was targeted at someone more basic then me, I just let in run in the background... then you taught me a feature I would''a killed for earlier... always wanted a smooth for UVs like you can with mesh (like in the W menu) never used the UV sculpt before... now don't think I''ll be able to imagine not using it.... so, thank you very very much.....

[@acidvideothomas8383]

i would like to see an in depth tutorial about the best way to set up your UV's in Blender 2.8 to export it to Substance painter. And maybe how to avoid common problems with this

[@germanduterte7110]

Very very nice tutorial, thank you very much #Zacharias Reinhardt

[@ckat609]

When you sculpt or 3d scan something, but don't want to do retopo, how do you go about texturizing/painting the model? Do you texture paint on the model? If so, what is the process? By the way... congratulations on taking something negative and turning it into a positive to improve your english, even though I find accents cool and never had any issues understanding you.

[@marioCazares]

This is gold thank you!!

[@jobaglais8801]

My 7yr old boy loves how you pop up ad the beginning of the video.

[@saskialorraine5754]

so good. thanks

[@Ianuarius]

I'd like to know how you sculpt and retopo something like the dinoman in blender... also texture painting.

[@Baszczer]

Cool, I like it, thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@deadpoolbr0]

Great video! mb it's time for some new one of uv unwrapping? p.s. for me your english very clear with some german note :)

[@nomorebs1668]

Great Job Zach Love the format of 20 tips. I create my own image textures in Photoshop and place them on my model. I use the nodes I use cycles. Each Material I make gets placed on a face. I feel very confused though about UV Coordinates Multiple UV maps UV editor window. Placing a material image on more than once face. I am confused about bending objects that already have a image placed on it. Where the UV s are saved how the UV maps work in textures . I suppose the essential basic concepts are missing in the sea of some very advanced tutorials. So I ask for the 20 Essential basics concepts needed for UV mapping. I just feel like I am missing something. How did you get away with scaling a map to Zero ? When I am using more than one UV map for one object. Thanks for a very usable and informative video !

[@inalitsusasi3782]

Still using 1.49 because I know the UI but render in 1.59 hoping to start using 1.7# your English is fine many Americans can't even understand other Americans aka brooklyn accent vs south accent keep up the great tips

[@RomboutVersluijs]

PS at #16 its better to put the pin inwards a couple loops, that way the island will djust much better and sprint to proper shape.

[@ralphgibson6006]

Hey Z. re: tip at the end I am glad you took the high road .I had no problems with your English. Thx for putting these together. Is there a way to project an image texture over a bunch of particles. Ex create the rings of Saturn then use NASA texture to add color?

[@christian9068]

I would like to see a video about rigging or topology

[@빵빵빵-m1o]

Thank you Thank you Thank you so much!! I was in a hard time figuring out Blender uv mapping...

[@Alohamora_13]

Hi Zach thanks a lot for these fantastic tips! A quick question. I have a model with UVs laid out on multiple UV tiles (UDIM space). Is there a way in Blender(either cycles or Blender Internal) to bake out texture for all these UV tiles (without manually shifting each tile to 0-1 space and baking each image individually)? Coz, I wanted to bake a simple color id map for one of my assets from Blender for use in Substance Painter but can't seem to find any mention of UDIM baking online. Many thanks! - Vidu

[@FrostedZaibatsu]

Here's a tip for you man. Your accent is fine, your english is fine. The people who make fun of your arent. Please understand that you and very understandable whether you thing youre not

[@TheSebledingue]

Thank you very much

[@veronikaovcinnikova1868]

Texturing, thank you, I learned some good things. Do you know something similar to "relax" uv island?

[@activemotionpictures]

There´s a trick to select the same seam edges on the opposite side of the model. Does anyone know how to do that? Help me, please. Thanks.

Hi, I can't find the Tag Seam option in Blender 2.8, I used it a lot with live unwrap in 2.79 because it helps me to create the seams faster, does someone knows where is this Tag Seam option in 2.8? 05:20 -- Thanks!

@@cgboost Man you are the best! Thank you so much!

19:20 May I delete the first UV map before making another one? Or can I just scale it down?

I would love to see texture painting including more vertex texture painting on sculpt models and such. =3

Edge Selection Mode (Tag Seams) is gone again in 2.8 latest release... 05:53 .. can someone tell me where it is?

[@jayvanburg3943]

Pin islands is very helpful

[@MrAdarius1001]

Als Newcomer wollte ich 'nur' meinen Dank für Deine extrem hilfreiche Arbeit zum Ausdruck bringen... ;) Aber: Texture Painting ist spannend - irgendwie habe ich mal gesehen, dass man eine vorhandene Textur mit einem 'Pinsel' auf das Objekt malen kann - habe das aber nicht mehr gefunden...

[@JeanPaulLaureys]

verry nice, I learned a lot from your tips, can you make somthing about Texture painting pls...

[@Ianuarius]

Oh, also, if you have like 20 tips for baking normal maps and maybe retopologizing a model. My lowpolys with normal maps added always come out looking disgustingly bad even if the high poly is relatively nice.

I would like to see a tip video on all the most useful extensions.

could you the same video bu tin 2.81 plz. there are things that are different...lots actually cheers!

[@well.done.]

Hi! 10:33 Do you know there is this function in blender 2.80?

[@SneakersDK]

Thanks for the video. But one question. Where do you changing unwrap method in a newer version of blender? I can't find it. :)

[@cgboost]

Can you tell me what point in the video you are referring to?

[@SneakersDK]

@@cgboost Sure its around 10:16 :) 'Changing Unwrap Method' :)

[@SneakersDK]

@@cgboost I found it. :) Turns out I had to do an unwrap operation and then change the method. I thought that I could to it at anytime in the proces,

[@cgboost]

@@SneakersDK Exactly, this only pops up after unwrapping.

[@prateekpanwar646]

More confusing thing for me is: Should I go this way: Mark seam> UV> Export UV and paste textures in areas Or: make texture> UV unwrap in selected areas Or: Make texture> Make a bit ok UV> Texture paint Which is good for making game asset?

[@mahrcheen]

Most useful is ctrl + a & ctrl +v & ctrl + p - in short average, minimize stretch and pack.
