that cylinder trick is sooo good! thanks

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help!

[@Matthew-ni2py]

This is an amazing video! I'm still new to 3D modeling/animation software and I already feel like I've learned more in this video than I have in the past few weeks!

[@Slowverber-ci4ob]

I mastered uv mapping after this video thank you man I’m glad I came across this video ❤❤❤❤ all love

[@enricbagur8105]

10:45 Another option for curved faces is to select a edgeloop from the middle and then press sraighten shell. If you don't have a any edgeloop in the middle you can add it with "Multi-cut" tool pressing Ctrl or with the "Quad Draw" tool. Once the edgeloop is selected press Straighten Shell. Once the UV is straight you can select the edgeloop and press "Ctrl+Backspace to delete it.

I've watched alot of Uv mapping videos but i still had some doubts and this video has helped me clear up most of them. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🥳

[@ZoomerPoliticalTakes]

Im glad I came across this video. Best, straight to the point and clear tutorial on UV.

[@OnMars3D]

Happy to help!

Awesome UV video! Once you break down those complex 3D shapes into simpler 2D planes it becomes so much easier. I think it also helps to understand where you have natural transitions in the materials and textures. Not only does it give you a few locations to cut before unfolding, but it also makes it easier to texture in Painter since you won't have to manually paint masks (use ID maps or UV chunk polygon fill).

[@OnMars3D]

Well said, those are great tips!

[@tamo3331]

Thank you, you made my day. Looking forward to upcoming uv mapping videos.

[@SaM-tl5nz]

Been UV Mapping for a long time, but that cylindrical projection threw me off. Great video as always 🔥

[@OnMars3D]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@EMC3D]

Really well edited chap! Enjoyed that video a lot, makes me wanna go back to Maya!

[@OnMars3D]

Apprecaite it, trying to improve with every video!

[@robgarrott1985]

Detailed AND clear .... fantastic video... THANK YOU!!

[@danielchavez1233]

Thank you so much for this video! That cylinder trick was so helpful

[@Philip_xi]

This video was extremely helpful! Definitely helped me out

[@OnMars3D]

Glad it helped!

[@strangel007]

THANK YOU SO MUCH to be honest by your videos it helped me really well i am studying game asset and designing and never knew these tricks till now you really helped me a lot i shared with all my classmates these stuff are so good. Can you please make a video that how to do a proper unwarp game asset is making udims and apply shader or fit all the uv in same UDIMS?

[@OnMars3D]

I appreciate that, and for sure, I'll cover that in a future video!

[@Cdesigns-1000]

Hi where ur studying

[@strangel007]

@@Cdesigns-1000 dont study where i am studying i am learning everything from myself but the institute i am studying is maac kinda useless and waste

[@justsimple8831]

it's the best thing I've ever heard.

[@chrisjhart]

Great tutorial! I like to actually select and cut faces sometimes as it sometimes makes it easier to visualise. CTRL SHIFT X in the UV editor window cuts the perimeter of a face group.

[@OnMars3D]

That's a great tip, thanks for sharing!

[@chrisjhart]

@@OnMars3D you're welcome, your tutorials are always A+

[@KianKrashesky]

This was incredible and easy to understand. Thank you! Do you have a tutorial or tips on proper facial UV mapping?

[@h.exp96]

Nicely explained! Thanks!

[@M_k-zi3tn]

lol i'm watching this video at work 😅. Very informative video!!

[@Waffletoasters]

All I was missing was the texel density tool, for the rest this was perfect

[@gamesfordlegend]

you have got me on your channel bro .. new sub ... nice video ... i am getting every single words you said ... thank you brother

[@OnMars3D]

I appreciate that!

Thank you very much :)

perfect video thank you

[@DanielNorval]

Great video! 🔥

[@OnMars3D]

Glad to hear it!

[@shreemahajan5694]

Thanks it was great, in next video could you aslo teach how to pack those uvs in one shel using texel density

[@OnMars3D]

Absolutely, I'll cover that in the next video!

[@RyanRaiyyan]

Thank you bossman

[@OnMars3D]

💪

[@MrDarrell99]

(3d cut and sew uv tool) saves time instead of holding shift and selecting edges.

[@OnMars3D]

Great tip, I'll add that to the next video!

[@GreatPhate]

Really awesome video! I learned a lot. I was just wondering about one thing: I'm currently in school learning, among other things, UV mapping. We are told to sow the pieces back together again after unfolding and straightening, but you don't do that. Is that not necessary? What does that actually accomplish?

[@Lugieee_00]

Hello, my fellow student! It will help you more in the texturing time. At first, it may seem pointless and even annoying, but trust me, not doing it PROPERLY will make the texturing process a pain, be it to you or for another artist who decide to texture by themselves. Keep in mind that I am also a student, not a professional, but I did my best trying to explain.

[@TheSatzy6699]

Super

[@garrettgoldsmith]

Awesome vid. is there a social hub on discord where I can ask technical questions to a maya community?

[@OnMars3D]

Yes! You can join my Discord here: discord.gg/vybvJnEeya

@@OnMars3D awesome! see yall there!

[@oscarcampbellhobson]

Keep making uv tutorials (and animation) honestly both the most confusing aspects

[@OnMars3D]

That's the plan!

[@psyduck4763]

Is it possible to re-adjust some UVs, lets say I have rendered my model, and it showed some results that aren't suppose to be there. Is it possible to correct UVs even then or is it just a one time process?

[@FrannyMichelle-xl9mq]

I seriously need help, I am currently on my professional practice making a 3D model for my workplace but now that I'm on the UV mapping step it's all a mess - overlapping UV shells, Non-manifold vertices that I can't find or know how to fix, the cleanup mesh tool isn't doing anything and I got like 10 days to finish it! The worst part is that I'm trying to follow this tutorial but step 3 doesn't work on my model! And I don't know why that is! I am panicking!

[@Milosaiiracha]

same boat here 😅

[@syedhasnain7456]

Hi do you need a website?

[@XyzZ-rn6uo]

A created object a smooth (3) next uv unwrap that object which mode select smooth (3) or normal mode (1)?

[@OnMars3D]

That's one of the topics I'll cover in my next video!

[@arash5550]

so for this model that you are making the toturial with . does it have multple materials ? cause you cant have those parts in a one udimm . (gaming scenerio) do you have single uv for the whole model ?

[@OnMars3D]

Yeah, when I texture it in Substance Painter, I apply one material so it's on a single texture set. I only used multple materials in Maya to better visualize the model for this video.

[@peterwillson3322]

Hey mate you forgot textel density

[@OnMars3D]

Yes! That'll be in my next video on UV Mapping Tips

[@davelidster2280]

Why Autodesk is the small ‘T’ for the cylinderical projection always such a pain to find.

[@OnMars3D]

Agree, it's easy to overlook.

[@snap-n-shoot]

How do you uv a sphere, just a sphere to have even chequer squares all around?

[@OnMars3D]

The same way I did the canister, cut the top and cut along the sphere vertically.

[@BCGVali]

I have a question in maya delete history what you doing is it exist in blender same delete history of object is there or not sir.

[@OnMars3D]

Blender does not have History like Maya, instead, it has a Modifier List. you can 'Apply' the modifiers but then you will be using a 'destructive' workflow.

[@Frugmuffinarmy]

I still don’t understand what this is supposed to do

[@insigniya116]

Hey please make video on texture density it's requeste 🫂❤️
