That was the first time someone on KZbin actually managed to explain it right and show us the most important steps. Thanks a bunch!

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help!

[@TheDukersrules]

After literally crying from not figuring this out, you made it just look so easy and so nice. Thank you so much for explaining this concisely

[@OnMars3D]

You're welcome, so glad this helped you figure out UV Mapping!

[@cglancer]

For those not getting similar results make sure before you start unwrapping, that you "freeze transformations" and "delete history by type" for the object(s) you are going to work with.

[@sullimafrax]

thank you so much man, i was getting frustract

[@cglancer]

@@sullimafrax i was in the same boat. spent hours stuck on that.

[@subhamsarkar7765]

Where can I freeze the transformation

[@OnMars3D]

Top menu, go to Modify>Freeze Transformations

[@corrohsivegaming7077]

Dude this is probably the most helpful Maya video I have ever seen about UV unwrapping. You explained it so simply and executed the process in what felt like mere seconds compared to all these other confusing ways.

[@OnMars3D]

Glad it helped!

[@davidshapcott3034]

This is by far the easiest explanation regarding setting out your UVs, very easy to understand and simple.

[@Vincent654]

The key is how visual he teaches all of this, deleting the default UV and then make it like the camera is such a great idea, then separating the cute like visually “uncapping” the hammer also helped, it’s like breaking down into pieces!

[@kaelynfraley3334]

I know I'm commenting two years later, but WOW thank you for making a simple and to the point video about unwrapping! You are a huge help!

[@totoosarts]

I'd like to say, we really appreciate your kindness in sharing these tutorials, your videos are to the point, no waste of time, precise at the same time, clear and easy to follow. Bless your heart and take care :)

[@sillaysponge]

Doing a game design course right now with a week of crunch before hand-in and UV mapping was killing me.... thank you!

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help!

[@danmgc]

What a great way to go about it. Your method is so simple and so effective, I never thought of doing a camera based UVs first and then just slicing up pieces

[@aurorielys3030]

this was so much more helpful than anything my professors were showing/sending me. I was in tears before I found this video.

[@muhamadrusliyuliswanto4855]

I appreciate how there’s no ads, thanks.

[@NickEnchev]

Probably the best Maya UV video I've seen so far. So many other videos just use one of the default pre-UVed primitives. I didn't know where to start in Maya and none of my cuts/seams were being created, needed to see that you start from camera based to generate the initial UVs in the tile. I was just deleting them and wondering why seams weren't appearing and why it wasn't unwrapping anything. Thank you!

[@tahnaiyarussell]

You're getting a like, a subscribe and a comment for the algorithm. These are the kind of videos I need. Simple, straight to the point, easy to understand. No faffing around. Love it. Thank you.

[@StevesGarage]

This video was perfect for what I was doing. I didn't realize who it was when I clicked it, but then I recognized your voice! Thanks for the great channel!

[@OnMars3D]

Thank you, glad to help!

[@000bunny3]

I owe you my life - This is the only tutorial that made me understand, thank you SO MUCH!

[@OnMars3D]

Really happy to hear that, glad I could help!

[@infinitegarb5927]

This video has taught me more about unwrapping than my college professor... thank you, going to try this out and hopefully it works for me.

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help!

[@alejandrabernal7529]

I tought I understood how to cut UV's until I saw your video, outstanding explanation!

[@reese457]

This did help me quite a bit I did not use the exact technique you are doing but I had no idea the camera based button existed and I’ve been taking 3D classes for 2 years!

[@quanghungle2262]

Your tutorial is very clear and easy to understand. Thanks a lot! Very helpful!

[@OnMars3D]

Glad to hear it, always happy to help!

[@carrotface9090]

Thhhannnnnnnnnnk uuuuuuuuuuuuuu :O I love you! You explained it so well. My university teacher make these videos that lasts 2 hours everyweek and you just explained it all so simple in 10 minutes! I was crying all day because I have a midterm tomarrow! If only I had saw your video earlier...

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help! I'm guilty of lecturing for too long, especially if I'm excited about the subject but sometimes, breaking it down into simpler concepts is the better way to go.

[@evankam2251]

This is a useful advanced method simplified. I'll try it when we UV Map our Lego Models for our finals in class. Right now, we're using basic projections with "Planar" and "Unwrap" revisions as we practice with cereal boxes.

[@evankam2251]

Also, really hope I can figure out how to do the same in Blender since you just explained how to approach a complex concept in such a quick time frame

[@OnMars3D]

I plan to cover Blender tutorials in the future, stay tuned!

[@edjonhadley1]

Took me awhile to figure this out, but after watching ur video a few times, it finally clicked and i was able to do good UV's. Thank you!

[@OnMars3D]

Glad I could help!

This really helped! Thanks for saving my homework and explaining this in a way that feels like it stuck!

[@habeebalrahman515]

I watched a ton of videos and didn't understand much, you made it all clear.

[@Skulka]

Wow, after trying to understand uvs for so long and failing you made it so simple . Thank you very much

[@OnMars3D]

Glad to hear that!

[@irenehouward7434]

thank you so much for this! the workflow in the end helps a lot too, figuring out which uvs to straighthen and which to separate!

[@OnMars3D]

Great to hear!

[@Phexous]

This was so much help for me, the only issues I had ran into is that I had to make sure that my unfold was set to unfold3D as it had set itself to legacy at some point. If you are having a similar issue where your unfold just doesn't seem to be working correctly you can check and change it by Shift+LMB to open the settings for unfold.

[@OnMars3D]

Yeah, I should've started with make sure the plugin is loaded :)

[@vartikchauhan5493]

Thankyou so much.... None could teach better than this on youtube, as much as i could find out. You helped me alot for my exams as i was a little confused on uv's and couldn't understand much on 3d due to this covid. Online teaching sucks of our university, but i could see you as a helping hand. Thanks again :)

[@OnMars3D]

Appreciate it, really happy I could be of some help!

[@johnwalker4787]

Awesome. I will give this a shot. I am doing a 3D modelling course and I didn't fully understand how this worked. They showed me taking uv using cylindrical and planar maping. Never showed this method or fully explain why we map. I thought you have to use cylindrical or planar maping to get UV's. Your tutorials explained everything clearly

[@animatedgeek6588]

Thats what we expect from a tutorial!! Good job, pal✌

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help!

[@KaustavMajumder]

[@ramakantmaraskole9249]

some people might facing same problem that i faced . try this solution . Uncheck the "Create new UV set " option from create UV based on camera option before everything . (UV editor top bar > Create > Camera based setting > Uncheck the "Create new UV set " option.

Thank you, I will use this to teach my students. It simplifies it so much :)

[@shereenyk]

Totally just had to leave a comment. You literally saved my life 😅 I couldn't figure out why some parts of my UV mapping went missing, and my model wouldn't print right on the 3D printer. Didn't even realise that was relevant to the printer until the print gave me an error halfway through. I watched like 3 other UV mapping videos that did not answer my question and your video showed me how to fix it in 3 clicks. Thank you so much for the tutorial!! 🫡 👊

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to hear that, I've always taught UVs like this and never found a similar video on KZbin. Glad it's helping so many people like you :)

Thankyou for actually explaining tNice tutorialngs. Other videos that I watched started talking about how to make soft and didn't ntion anytNice tutorialng

[@BrandonNyman]

Thank you. The method I've been going at it was way more tedious and slow and still more messy at times. And involved a lot of stitching at points. Hopefully this will be a bit quicker and simpler.

Cheers dude. Had to mess around a bit with unfold option and still wasn't perfect, but i was using this for a randomly gagged low poly mountain wasn't quite as straightforward. I would say I got "good enough" results, but not the perfectly uniform UV I aspired to, but i think it will be unnoticeable. But if you have any ideas or if you covered this in a video I didn't watch, please lemme know.
