Thank you for this, and I appreciate the detail of explanation, even mentioning the button to show texture in the viewport (I had that figured out already, but) it is greatly appreciated. It only takes a second to mention the baby steps, not enough tutorials out there do this. When I get up tomorrow, this will be my assignment for the day, unwrapping and texturing. I have a fairly complex model built but I have yet to properly unwrap and texture anything. Exciting stuff, man.

Hi Kevin, thanks for the insight. Question: Would you make multiple sets of UV for lets say an environment and output those sets with higher resolution to have more information in the texture to make them look sharper and with more details?
@kevinburgess10196 жыл бұрын
Answer for real time/Unreal/Unity/Games: It's a balance between what you need for the art to look really good and what you need for the level to run at a minimum frame rate. Answer for pre-rendered/film: Lean towards visual quality but realize that the higher the resolution of the textures, the longer the render times will be. In other words, don't make 8k textures on a 3D model that only needs 2k. Be smart about where you sign yourself up for work.
@josevega92176 жыл бұрын
Thanks Kevin. Yeah, its actually for an animation. Want to make the background 3D with painterly textures so it needs to look like a 2d painting background but in the 3D model.
@kevinburgess10196 жыл бұрын
ok, well, just don't make the mistake of planning to make massive textures if photorealism is not the style you're looking for. Imagine how much time it will take you to paint 8000x8000 pixels compared to how much time it will take you to paint 1000x1000 pixels. A very common issue in production is underestimating how much time each individual step will actually take. It can lead to burn out, long nights, and most frustrating of all: unfinished projects.

Also how do you paint your models. Do you do it in PS, or would you paint it in a 3d space in say substance? Im just learning how to texture and its not the most documented thing on the internet so anyone that can help is a wonderful person!
@kevinburgess10198 жыл бұрын
+jampakdd Painting 3D can be arrived at in a few different ways. Yes, polypainting is excellent and a huge timesaver...so I would definitely get really good at that. Use Zbrush because it's the most supported software and chances are good that any studio you go to will want to be using that. Most supported means most forums and other nerds like me making youtube videos. Now....once you polypaint something, you're going to have to clean it up in Photoshop...because making something look nice and pretty in zbrush is NOT the same as making something look good in a game engine. There's a lot of clean up, optimization, and bug fixing. For example, the seams of the UVs are going to be visible unless you're smart about where you put them. Make sense? Feel free to come back at me if you're stuck.
@Darklimestudios8 жыл бұрын
So as a modeler I personally try to keep things clean and symmetrical (unless they need to be A symmetrical of course) would you say its important to keep UV maps symmetrical like you had the sides of the forklift the same but sometimes there are those tiny edges that just dont get unwrapped right and are attached to the other face unlike the one that was already placed, basically since im not sure if that is clear is should I worry about having a very "clean" UV map?
@kevinburgess10198 жыл бұрын
+jampakdd I wouldn't worry about the symmetry of it. If you have some pieces hanging out that are different from one side to the other, that's ok. You need to do this: keep your UV shells the same texture resolution, make as few UV shells as possible (within reason), and arrange them in such a way in the 0-1 space that you can quickly paint them. Your value to your company and your team is how fast you can make quality. UVing something in a smart way is a big way to reduce the total amount spent on a 3D model. It pays off in so many ways downstream.

For the uv's of the object, we need to put all the uv's in the 0,1 space right?
@infinitesimotel9 жыл бұрын
+Sandy Nguyen mostly. If you have a large object that requires more texture space you can expand and make it tile, but it will tile, it is not extra texture space. 0-1 is all the texture that is available. They do that for large structures like walls and bridges etc, but if you use UDK the lightmap has to be in to 0-1 space, but that is another story.
@kevinburgess10199 жыл бұрын
+infinitesimotel yeah, I'd agree with all that. To take it one step further, think about a car that will have four different paint jobs on it. Grand Theft Auto comes to mind. The artist would put the UVs of all four different layouts in the four quadrants and the game engine (read as: the programmer) would control which UV quadrant is used to display the right paint job. This is called UV Sets in game development jargon. For now, keep everything in the 0-1 space. As an aside, zbrush throws up if any UVs are leaking outside of the 0-1 space.

I'm sure there's a way to do a live preview, but it's probably complicated. Get Substance. So much better than Ps. Indie license is like $75 or something like that when it goes on sale. Super worth it. And they have a free educational license if you're just learning it. You could always try Photoshop's 3D tools, but um... yeah... not great.

Brandon you might want to look into a plugin called RoadKill. It might feel more familiar to you. www.pullin-shapes.co.uk/page8.htm
@Zeriel008 жыл бұрын
Plugins are not reliable since a version change can break them and you never know when they will stop support them and you're left gimped forever. The way I use the Maya tools is not use them at all! xD I only use 3 tools, Cut UV Edges, Unfold and Sew UV Edges. I ignore EVERYTHING else and do just fine xD
@firebelliedtoad58 жыл бұрын
THIS. Nepu-Tech and I share an opinion on the subject of plug-ins. In the 7 months since I've converted and basically forgotten everything I know about 3dsMax, I've found a really good workflow for Maya unwrapping. 1. Planar Map each major surface according to the plane that fits best (or camera angle, which is super useful sometimes). 2. Spread out your various UV shells to work on. If any shells are backwards, flip them at this point. 3. Select the UV points of a shell in UV editor. 4. Shift-RightClick (and hold) for a flyout menu and select "Smooth UV Tool". 5. Drag the "Unfold" invisible slider to the right and watch the magic happen. (NB: occasionally this gives you a tangled mess, which either means you should try the "Relax" invisible slider in the same tool first, or perhaps break the shell into smaller shells that you can unfold separately and sew back together.) Of course, you could just let Zbrush auto-unwrap everything and just tweak those in Maya, but that's a-whole-nother story.
@Zeriel008 жыл бұрын
Brandon Miracle Haha thanks! ^^ Well I'm still learning unwrapping and just came across a problem. I made a really complicated model with a lot of small parts, do I have to unwrap each and every one separately? Because it looks like such a shore :( and Wow Zbrush Auto unwrap! I love Zbrush how come I never thought of that! I need to give it a try xD
@daneshears63228 жыл бұрын
Nepu-Tech USA Hey Nepu-Tech USA! I can give you answers to many of these questions if you are in need of a few pointers. But to answer the question at hand.. it depends upon the small part that you are making. If it a duplicate of the original part, the answer is No, you do not have to unwrap each one. You can use Mesh > Transfer attributes.to transfer the UVs. Also the answer to your pelt mapping question is that Maya can do something like that, or exactly that, if you are willing to use a plugin.
