do you have a tutorial for deal with seams?

[@RyanKingArt]

@@kolaarami8897 I go over how to add seams in this video. Check the timestamps to find that part.

[@jesusrivas2097]

Can you make one but with Minecraft skins please?

[@ukaszfraczek5390]

Great step by step tutorial, thank you!

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@juanblanco7449]

so many, so so many tutorials asume that the audience knows what uvwrapping is, and what its purpose. i did not know after watch 5-6 tutorials on it. thanks for starting at the real biggening.

[@RyanKingArt]

glad it helped!

[@monographgames]

OMG THANK YOU for including the section at the end on applying the scale! I'd watched multiple videos on UV unwrapping, was following all the steps correctly and mu textures were still turning out warped and stretched. I didn't realize was missing this step. Thank you!

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching.

[@amerdidi3126]

Just like your other videos, it makes me wonder if you are also a teacher in real life. The flow of information, the concise yet exhaustive content, all shows your great talent as an artist but more importantly for a YT channel as a top-notch pedagogue. Thank you for all the love and passion hiding behind every single piece of information!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks. No, I don't do teaching in real life. This youtube channel is my full time job.

[@mattrowe2652]

Thanks Ryan, excellent beginner videos, very clear and helpful.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you for your super thanks! Glad you like it.

[@fanningconstruction2050]

Thanks again for another video..... You describe everything so well. Ive been working with blender for a few months now and I've learned so much from your videos alone. You definitely earned this subscription.

your tutorials are very helpful than other youtubers because you also have an understanding of how a beginner's brain wants to be teached. the simplicity and the pacing. sorry im not good in english. your the best blender teacher here on youtube. I learn most of my stuff from your videos. if im going to an art school i want a teacher like you to teach.

Thank you for this tutorial, it cover all the basics needed to understand how to work with UV editing. I have been looking for tutorial like this for weeks that is not focus on a specific use of UV mapping.

[@RyanKingArt]

This tutorial is so great. Thank you. I really like your voice, which is soothing and clear. You speak at a comfortable pace, not too fast or slow. Although English is not my native language, I can basically understand it.

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad its easy to understand! thanks for watching.

[@jeffhowe2892]

It's always worth listening to what you say. Thanks for the help.

[@RyanKingArt]

thank you for watching!

[@TruthSurge]

18:10 why would a simple unwrap of the unmodified cube give an error message? I dont understand why that would happen. thx

[@user-pn7wq9cl1g]

This video explained to me exactly why I need to be turning my quads into tris or tets before using them as part of corners. I tried executing the basic UV unwrap principles on one of my little spaceship models, but when a quad gets "folded" or "creased" it becomes impossible to texture without more advanced techniques which I'm currently googling.

Thank you so much for this video! Very informative and well explained. With a lot of other tutorial videos I feel like I didn't really get an understanding of UVs, but this one really breaks everything down for a beginner like me, so I actually feel like I can apply what I learned on my own projects

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andy80sdrums]

Wonderful tutorial as always. At the end should have been '..aand that's going to UV Unwrap it for this video' - Kidding. Nice stuff!

[@ltraltier6009]

I wish I had a tutorial like this back when I started 4 years ago. It felt like people were just playing dumb or maliciously overcomplicating things whenever I'd try to ask about it or look it up. Why do game engines always freak out over overlapping UV's of all things? Its never actually affected performance or visuals in my experience.

[@katemccormick9722]

[@TruthSurge]

ok.... I must have done something in blender to keep the UV edit window from showing the actual image texture cuz when I hit UV EDITING, my left window is the UV window but it just shows a blank grid instead of the wood texture I mapped to the cube (and it is showing on the cube but nothing shows in the UV edit window). ? I think this is what has been confusing me. Sometimes something shows up and sometimes or most times it doesn't. I think also maybe I have saved versions of projects with various settings and don't realize this. Like each blender file can have it's own settings for rendering so I think this is one prob. I guess I'll online search "why is my UV texture not showing in blender" haha I will get this working once and for all!!! UV isn't going to stop me from Blendering! SOLVED! You cannot just select your object and go into EDIT mode then UV tab. At least not in 3.5.1. You have to actually SELECT ALL THE FACES of your object while in edit mode using the FACE SELECT option up top then box select around the object or shift A whichever.... NOW, NOW finally... mwhahahah NOW my texture popped up in the left window! WHY isnt Blender coded to where if you have your entire object selected in OBJECT MODE then go into EDIT MODE, it should have all the faces selected by default so if you go into UV mode, your texture is there, waiting for you in that UV window. ? Notice at 6:55 Ryan has a FEW faces selected and that is why the image shows and why it only shows those faces on the UV map. He had selected FACE mode and selected those faces prior to going into UV editor. If not, he would have to have done A or select one face for the image to show. Anyway, SOLVED. another of the 1000 GOTCHAS when trying to make something in BLender. Clearly, if I select an entire object, the default should be all faces selected. THEN if I want to mess with one or more faces, I can deselect and select what I want. Why is Blender not set up this way? There are so many hidden places you have to go and do to get stuff to work. Only people with amazing memory or a homemade shortcut/cheat sheet list can get stuff done in less than a month! Thank gosh for some YT tutorials. I keep coming back to these ones by Ryan because mostly they work. Sometimes they don''t but it's a start. Mostly some varation of Blender versions and ignorance on my part. Ok.... I'm going to do UV editing for 3 days nonstop. I will eat, sleep and drink UVs until I DOMINATE THEM! Thx, Ryan.

You are a good dude man ❤

thank you : )

Thank you, King ❤❤💕💕

[@RyanKingArt]

[@harshaansingh4008]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. The documentation doesn't mention that the UV editor requires Edit Mode. I was fumbling around trying to figure out what was going on. When I found it, I returned to the tutorial and as soon as I pressed play the next thing you mentioned was that it had to be in Edit Mode. 😂 Tutorial was good, I just suggest placing crucial information like that in the beginning. Order of operations kind of thing. Thank you once again!

Aside from making wonderful tutorials, I like how you always pronounce the last words in your sentences. It's usually more obvious when Blender is the last word you want to pronounce in a sentence. You stress the last words pretty good.. 😁😁😁

[@RyanKingArt]

lol thanks I guess. 🙂

[@TruthSurge]

Another question... anyone know if there is a switch in preferences to tell Blender to ALWAYS apply transforms immediately so I don't get hit with the same old aaaaaah, you didn't apply your transforms! ? That would be a nice default for me, at least. thx!

Hi! Love the tutorial but I'm having trouble with the keybinds. They don't work, are you perhaps using an special set of keybinds?

[@Triple88a]

Hello, question. On the left side of your screen where the texture is at. Can you configure blender to show the texture repeating? like tiled? Example 30:22 where the nodes go off the image. Can you configure blender to show the image in a repeating pattern so it's easier to see when the nodes go off the texture? Thank you for your time.

[@adrianfels2985]

Thank you very much for this amazing tutorial, but there is one question I am left with that I may have missed watching this. Let's say hypothetically there are multiple faces you created as separate shells(islands) and you want to put the back together. Does Blender have any way to stitch these shells?

[@KenDoStudios]

do you have any videos about how weird your textures look? because i just uv wraping myself, however it looks not as crisp and seemless like there is addded colord to the edges i know what the texture is supposed to look like and there are no dark splotches

How do you view as wireframe in the right UV 3D window? AND how do you box select THROUGH the model.

I know that this will probably be in a long running series, but I’d love if you build to objects that don’t have as easy to apply UV maps. I was trying to model an Oreo cookie once and I think I placed the seams properly, but there aren’t many Oreo cookie textures out there(or any) so I was trying to wrestle with the details and the UV map and just failing. Maybe not with an oreo cookie, but maybe one day it’d be cool to tackle objects which don’t have an easy to find texture map and where to go from there. But no worries if it’s not on the list any time soon! I’m sure what you have planned already will be great! I love your stuff man! Keep it up!

[@TheDevian]

The easiest way, would be to put a seam on the edge, maybe do the side as its own piece, though you will want to break that into a few parts.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for the video ideas!

[@BlenderVisuals3D-d6l]

I want to say this I tested both but the UV editor that you can find when going into the shading tab and the UV editing Tab they both share a lot of similarities to each other i thought i would just point this out not really any differnce

Thanks for great tutorial.I use industry keymap and i have difficulty tracking some parts. I suggest you demonstrate the same commands in the menus. Gracias.
